why there’s no medicine to cure AIDS?

The closest modern science could possible come to cure for AIDS would be a preventative vaccine, like a flu vaccine. If it mutates too fast, like the common cold, it’s impossible to keep up with. It just finds a new way of outsmarting the human immune system. AIDS is a very rapidly replicating virus. Just like there is no cure for the common cold (also a virus), there can be no cure for AIDS. anti-viral medications treat the symptoms, not the disease. That is why when you take cold medicine, it only helps for a little while and then you need to take it again. The molecules of AIDS attack the RNA. RNA is a messanger that tells your cells how to replicate. The result is a mutant cell. These mutant cells are seen as foreign intruders by your body’s anti-bodies (immune system). The anti-bodies then attack the cells, thus AIDS is an autoimmune disease. The AIDS virus replicates so fast that there is no way of stopping it. The cells are so fast that they can only be seen with a very complex electro microscope. If we find a cure for the common cold, then we may be on to a way to cure AIDS. Until then, all that can be done is treat the symptoms. There are currently tons of trials and studies going on, but funding is low. If you want to help, research for organizations and hospitals looking for the cures. Then donate money to the cause. Type ‘HERB DOC” into your search engine . it may put a whole new light as far as answering your question. I honestly think they have a cure and dont wanna let the worl be privy to it, i think its a method of opulation control asnd keeping people from being promisciousLook at Magic Johnson who use to play basketball they say he has aid and he has beenliving for more than ten yeard and has never had a problem with “virus they say he has”but thats just my opinion hey this is just my philosophy on the matter.I work in the health field industry .I really believe that it is cures to diseases such as cancer, AIDS and other health related diseases. This is the part that is sad.. I really believe it’s about the almighty $’s how would they make their money if their were no diseases. If there was a cure that would bring a halt to all the treatments all the medication and alllll the $’s soooo. what do you think? You wonder how can they come soooo close to the edge but not close enough to the cure it? tell me what ya think.

unlike bacteria, viruses are extremely complex and hard to treat – much less cure. and there’s also the problem of mutation(s). Because AIDS is caused by the virus, HIV, of which there are many forms. Also, if we find a cure, the virus would probably mutate and we would need to find another one.

Finding medication to cure any viral infection (bad ones like HIV, but even the common cold or the flu) is tricky. First, viruses aren’t actually living, so they can’t be killed. They’re basically just protein and either DNA or RNA, all of which are found in your cells, so it’s hard to find a chemical that will destroy the virus without hurting the healthy cells around it. Beyond that, viruses tend to hide out in cells. In the case of HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), the virus can lay dormant (meaning it’s there but not making you sick, or even hurting the cell it’s living in) for years. In order to kill the virus, you’d have to kill at the cells that contain the viral DNA, but since the virus is just hiding out there and not causing any problems, there’s no easy way to tell which cells have the virus in them.Another problem is that, like most viruses, HIV mutates (changes) extremely quickly, so even if they find a drug to cure one strain of HIV, there are so many different versions of the virus even in one patient that some of the viral particles will be destroyed, but there will still be plenty left. Even if they find cures for all the versions of the virus that are around now, there are always new ones popping up. Basically, the virus just adapts to the treatment, like bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics only fast enough to happen in a single patient while he or she is being treated for the disease. That’s even a problem with the drugs they have now to delay the onset of symptoms, and they’ve found that switching back and forth helps because the virus adapts to one, and then another, and then the first one starts working again when the virus isn’t used to it anymore.Ultimately, the human immune system is extremely good at finding and destroying bacteria and viruses. It’s more precise and more versatile than anything modern medicine has come up with. But even the human immune system can’t figure out how to attack HIV, so it’s pretty hard for scientists to come up with something. I’m sure they’ll figure it out eventually, but it’s not going to be easy or fast. Because aids is a vicrus. And no metication can fix Aids.Its very sad that it really carn,t be cured.

The HIV virus reproduces rapidly. And, as it does, it also mutates rapidly. That’s mainly why it eventually wears out the immune system. The body has to keep coming up with new defenses until it finally just can’t keep up. Then, once the immune system is compromised, opportunistic infections and other diseases finish off the job. Because of the constant mutation, it is very difficult to engineer an anti-viral agent to kill the HIV virus.
