hiv
Did they find any cure or vaccine to prevent hiv?
I'm referring to this latest news about hiv research which is also a retrovirus like hbv:

"The new therapy works in two stages. Firstly, a vaccine helps the body recognise the HIV-infected cells so it can clear them out. Secondly, a new drug called Vorinostat activates the dormant T-cells so they can be spotted by the immune system.
The only reason they havent diagnosed me with aids is because i test negative on an hiv test. Keep in mind i never got tested during the 1-10 year period after possible exposure. The reason im saying this is because there could be many people in the same position as me that need to be on medication and arent because they test hiv negative.
I read this article on google news today. It sounds very promising.

Vaccine Campaigns May Be The Cause of New AIDS-Like Disease in Asia and Drug Resistant HIV Affecting Africa
Researchers have identified mysterious new symptoms that have left scores of people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with an AIDS-like disease and drug-resistant HIV respectively. Coincidentally, vaccine trials took place in several regions in both continents.
The patients' immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do.
Some people on this site feel that it is very hard to get HIV/AIDS, but I think this is an eye opener. I would like to see what the experts have to say?
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that tested over 8,000 people in 21 cities, found that one in FIVE gay men in the United States has HIV, and almost half of those who carry the virus are unaware that they are infected.
Until recently I was very uneducated on the reality of transmission of HIV. Unfortunately I had limited non-scare tactic education on the matter.
If Teak, Lizzie, Vance, or anyone who is knowledgable could provide answers or cite where I could research the answers that would be helpful.
1.). What affect if any does Subtype (ex B vs CRF A/E) have on modes/ means of transmission?
2.) Does subtype affect which cells are more likely to be targeted in the event of transmission?
3.
I just read the recent article in Scientific American on the latest research on AIDS and the challenges facing the scientific community in this endeavor. There is still a great deal of work to be done. But cases like a 14y/o child living with this hanging over her head since birth has just got to make us all more determined to beat this thing.
Unless you’re on treatment and it’s not working for you, you might want to think twice about hopping on a clinical trials.
It’s not as easy or hopeful as it sounds.
Rapid treatment after HIV infection may be enough to "functionally cure" about a 10th of those diagnosed early, say researchers in France.
They have been analysing 14 people who stopped therapy, but have since shown no signs of the virus resurging.
It follows reports of a baby girl being effectively cured after very early treatment in the US.
However, most people infected with HIV do not find out until the virus has fully infiltrated the body.
Hi, Anti HAV antibody is a test for Hepatitis A antibody not HIV. If you dad had a vaccine or past infections for Hepatitis A it would be positive for IgG antibody and negative for IgM. So, if he had the vaccine he is immune to Hepatitis A. If he didn't have the vaccine he was exposed to in sometime in his life (in the past) and is immune to the virus and is not sick now and won't transmit it to his family or friends.
No this is not in any way a test for AIDS.
