Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / March 2008Treating herpes won't stop HIV
Treating herpes won't stop HIV. Oh dear. Back to the drawing board. <http://in.reuters.com/article/health/idINN1219687520080312>: ----- Begin Quote ----- A second study has found that treating genital herpes infections does not protect people from the AIDS virus. The study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, casts even more doubt on the once hopeful idea that treating the common infection might help put a dent in the AIDS pandemic. ----- End Quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 4,808 days and counting...

It also might not be desirable to treat herpes infections because the herpes lesions provide a visual warning to use a condom and would tend to reduce transmission of the herpes or any other STD the person might have. >Martin wrote... >> Treating herpes won't stop HIV.

The phrase 'grasping at straws' comes to mind. There's no science behind HIV. This study, just like the ones into vaginal lemon juice drenching and seaweed anti-HIV gel, is a stab in the dark. Why does HIV science perform these strange studies? It's party because funding for them is easy to come by, but mainly because HIV logic is flawed and those who believe in it have to come up with a steady stream of stupid nonsense to prove the incorrect premise that AIDS is caused by HIV.
