THE POSSIBILITY OF A CURE FOR AIDS
Although great advances have been made in the treatment and monitoring of HIV and AIDS since the 1990's, the possibility for a cure remains elusive.
The possibility of scientists finding a cure for AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) or a vaccine to prevent the transmission of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS) in the foreseeable future is very improbable, if not impossible. This is definitely not due to a lack of effort on the part of science. The fact is, HIV is a very clever and resilient virus; it is capable of mutating very rapidly in order to ensure its survival in the body. As the virus mutates and is transmitted to another human being through blood and body fluid contact, such as unprotected sexual activity, it will continue to mutate and change in the new host.
Scientists are zealously studying and trying to understand this virus, and will continue to do so, in hopes of discovering a breakthrough "cure". In the meantime, billions of dollars are spent by the pharmaceutical companies each year on research and development of new and less toxic treatments for HIV and AIDS. To say that nothing is being done is very much a wrong impression. The work is being done, it just doesn't seem to be giving us the instant results that we want.
We may not be happy about the fact that this disease is here, and seems to be here to stay. We may be appalled at the rates of infection in areas of the world without sophisticated medical care, such as South Africa, parts of Asia, and the Caribbean. But we have to admit that the effort is being made, and will continue to be made, to control and contain this virus- if not eradicate it.
HIV and AIDS knows no boundaries. It is no longer about politics, sexual orientation, lifestyle, or drug use. It is about being human. It is not up to us to judge how someone might have become infected; that really doesn't matter. We are all susceptible; the next diagnosed case of HIV could be any one of us. We have a responsibility to be compassionate to any human being who is infected with or affected by HIV.

I read Liah's comment about Dr Iyabiye’s medication concerning HIV/aids. I tried it and it worked perfectly. It was like hell living with HIV/aids all this years until now, no more pains, weakness, and no more buying of anti-viral drug everyday to slow down the viral load. I would've come to testify before now but I have to wait for a couple of months to see if it will come back or feel pain as usual, I also went to the hospital for test and i was tested negative. All thanks to Dr. Iyabiye and to you Liah for spreading the good news. Doctor's contact: iyabiyehealinghome@gmail.com +234-815-857-7300
I was rescued from HIV/aids by Dr. Iyabiye early last year. I lost my job and spent almost all my savings because of antiviral drugs which I buy all the time. I luckily came across the doctor's recommendation online last year and I reached out to him and he administered his medication on me and I became healed & sound after taking his medication. I was also tested negative to the disease at the hospital. You can reach the doctor via email: iyabiyehealinghome@gmail.com
