A recent study in macaques has proven there may finally be a cure for HIV. HIV prevention in humans could soon be as simple as getting a shot in the arm four times a year. Scientists have shown in a recent study that an antiviral drug injected into the muscle of monkeys protected them from infection for weeks thereafter. David Ho, a virologist and co-author of the study, describes the approach to HIV prevention as practical and feasible.
A common strategy used in HIV prevention is called pre-exposure prophylaxis. This approach has been implemented and yielded positive results among high-risk populations, including men who have sex with men and intravenous drug users. A study from 2010 found that amid men who have sex with men and had taken an amalgamation of tenofovir and emtricitabine daily decreased their risk of HIV contraction by more than 90 percent. Yet, for the participants who did not take the medication every day, the virus infection rate reduced by only 44 percent.
Ho and his team of researchers examined a preliminary drug called GSK744. GSK744 is an exceptionally potent cognate of dolutegravir, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for HIV treatment last year. Here is how it works: GSK744 interferes with the enzyme that HIV uses to embed its DNA into the human genome. This prevents the AIDS virus from replicating itself, and then finally the viral DNA simply degenerates inside the cell. As a result, it is a possibility that the HIV-infected person could be cured for weeks afterwards. Hence, the person must continue to get a shot four times a year as a preventative measure.
To test the effectiveness of GSK744, Ho and his team squirted a simian-hybrid solution into the rectums of 16 macaque monkeys once a week for eight weeks. Eight of the monkeys received two injections of GSK744 during the eight-week period while the other half, which was the control group, did not. The control group macaques became infected within two weeks. However, all of the macaques who received GSK744 treatment were protected. Ho conducted a follow up experiment, which showed a single dose of GSK744 protected the monkeys between five and 10 weeks on average. Since humans metabolize the drug more slowly than macaques, Ho thinks GSK744 will remain effective in humans for up to three months and now it is time to test the drug on humans.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states they will present data from a similar study of macaque monkeys this week at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston, Massachusetts. Jonathan Mermin, director of the U.S. National Center for HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, Georgia, states the results point out that the shot is also effective in averting infections after exposure through the vagina. According to Dr. Zeda F. Rosenberg, CEO of IPM, she states women carry an unequal burden of HIV/AIDS epidemic. In the U.S. one in five women are diagnosed with the AIDS-causing virus, and the majority of women contract HIV through heterosexual sex. Around the globe, women comprise more than half of all people living with the HIV virus.
After careful research, scientists may have finally discovered a possible cure for HIV. Researchers state the drug GSK744 can be liquefied and injected into the arm four times a year. GSK744 has been tested on macaques and data shows that the monkeys lived virus-free for up to three months.

I never thought that i will ever have a normal life again thinking I’ll never get out of this hiv virus in my whole life but i was wrong. My story goes thus: I found dr tokubo contact in a post i followed online, I copied the email and contacted him because i read about how he cure a man of hiv and that he have herbal remedy for cancer, yeast infection,HIV, Herpes e.t.c. I told him all he needed to know about my hiv status and he told me to relax and stay calm that he will help me by sending his medicine to me via courier delivery and he did as he promised. I received my healing within 10 days of using his herbal remedy. my lost joy came back alive as there is no more HIV, no symptoms, no fear of transmitting the virus to my love ones. Now I’m in a relationship and my sex life is awesome. All these happened last month ago and I decided to keep silent because I wanted to be sure of the healing. Now I’m saying this because I have undergone series of medical check up and all results came out negative. At first i thought it was just a joke until i tried it out and it worked perfectly well. The doctor never asked me to talk about him but I see it as my little way of showing other people out there need his herbal medicine to be cured. You can reach dr tokubo via his email at: [email protected] or you can whatsapp him on: +2349037990322

sir i need this medicine very soon my family tell us were to buy the medicens
I am so happy to hear the news of an hiv cure.This is what we have being waiting for.Glory to the Lord
they need too tell us were to buy the medicens
the sooner the better, otherwise this is an emotional blackmail to our lives as it is hard to plan for future and family and as well as the stigma we have in our communities. this is no longer a joke even if someone wants date and marry you,,,, you become scared as you will not be able to produce a healthy family and also our partners become scared once they know of your status.the plea goes to our government to speedy the processes.
the introduction of HIV/AIDS cure to common people like myself and you, is very strategic. believe you me, that the cure has been a available for decades now. it is lucrative for pharmaceutical companies to contain the virus than to cure it all together. looking at what is happening in North Africa, it sims like they have found the replacement/ new way of making money out our lives as Africans. so you are going to have your HIV/AIDS cure probably by next year
The state of south afrıca spend lot of money educatıng theses scıentıst yet today ıt ıs 2014 and ıt seems lıke they faıl to ınvent and dıstrıbute the cure for hıv&aıds to the people.for how long shud we w8?please be precıse wıth the estımatıon of when wıll thıs cure dat we have been waıtıng for,goıng to be avaılable and ı so wısh ıt could happen by late 2015 @lst
I must say this is a great thing yo hear its just wonderful news
I feel that they should put the medicine shot out all over the world for free as long as people have any kind of medical insurance so that the people only living in the united states can be living and not dying all the time from aids or hiv.i say it should be out all over the world by next year.please save our people and the poor babes and children and adults living with the virus so that we can have a clean united states in america.thanks sincerly,Donna Bembry!!!
