Can AIDS be cured?
Can AIDS be cured?
AIDS is known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which is an immune deficiency syndrome caused by HIV infection. The reason why people infected with HIV get sick is because after HIV enters the human body, it mainly attacks the T-cells of the body's immune system, thus causing the immune system to collapse, and the immune system is just like a country's army, which has a function of defense externally and cleaning internally, so once the immune system collapses, various infections or tumors will be triggered. The immune system is like the army of a country, it has the function of defense externally and cleaning internally, so once the immune system collapses, it will cause various infections or various tumors, and eventually die of the infection or tumor.
The good thing is that there are not many ways of HIV infection, there are only three: mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, sexual transmission, sexual transmission is the main mode of transmission for the general public, and many people do not know is that there is now a drug to block AIDS, but the drug must be possible within 24 hours of exposure to the virus to have an effect, so if once a high-risk sexual relationship, suspected that the sexual partner carries HIV virus, an immediate injection of the blocking drug will stop the infection.
If unfortunately infected, do not be discouraged, now there has been a more effective treatment of AIDS, is the cocktail therapy, through this therapy, although it can not cure AIDS, completely remove the virus, but through a special drug, to stop the reverse transcription of the AIDS virus, inhibit the process can inhibit the replication of HIV, that is to say, can be put to the replication of the virus inhibition to the level that does not affect normal life, but this treatment requires lifelong medication, and scientific exercise, coupled with a healthy lifestyle can still maintain a relatively high quality of life. In other words, the replication of the virus can be suppressed to a level that does not affect normal life, but this treatment requires lifelong medication, as long as the medication is taken consistently, and scientific exercise, coupled with a healthy lifestyle can still maintain a relatively high quality of life.
So the public understand the AIDS should stop the spread of the virus from the transmission channels of AIDS, but we should not talk about AIDS, the transmission channels of AIDS on the three I said, daily and AIDS patients and the normal life will not be infected, only the whole society does not discriminate against AIDS patients, in order to reduce the patients in order to retaliate against the community intentionally spread the virus, the following these behaviors are not contagious.
It can't be cured now, there is a possibility of a functional cure in the next ten years, a high likelihood of a cure in twenty years, and a definite cure in thirty years according to big data projections.
Our country began clinical trials of antiretroviral treatment for AIDS in 2000 and promoted it domestically in 2003, and it has been 14 years since then, during which time the life expectancy of AIDS-infected patients receiving antiretroviral treatment has greatly increased and the mortality rate has been greatly reduced. If China's current HIV-infected patients taking drugs or European and American countries patent expiring or have expired drugs, that is, people more than ten years ago to take the drug. The side effects on liver and kidney function are relatively large, but now the patent of the international first-line drugs is about to expire, and the domestic infected people can take the international first-line drugs in the next few years. The life expectancy of HIV-infected patients is not much different from that of normal people if they are detected early, their CD4 is maintained at a high level, and their liver and kidney functions are checked regularly.
There are a lot of people will say so many infected why more than ten years on the death, the domestic infected about 70% of the discovery of the time has been infected with AIDS for almost five years or more, at this time his CD4 has been very low, there is also the AIDS hospitals around the world and the level of disease control varies, for example, the mortality rate of HIV-infected patients in Beijing is only 0.1%, while the national average is 5%. There are still some people infected with AIDS, still I do what I want, do not take medication on time, often miss the dose, and even occurred many times cross-infection, which is tantamount to digging their own way out of death. Therefore, if the infected person's CD4 is at a good level (above 350), pays attention to physical exercise, has reasonable nutrition, and takes medication and physical checkups on time, it does not have too great an impact on his or her life expectancy. According to the projections of many organizations at home and abroad, if a person is infected at the age of 20 and takes the current international first-line drugs, his life expectancy can reach about 76 years.
Functional cure means going for antiviral injections once a month or twice a month, instead of taking daily tablets. The advantage of this is that the medication does not have to be metabolized by the liver and kidneys and the side effects are low or even negligible. The side effects of the medication are negligible, and the fact that the medication does not have to be taken on time every day makes the life of the infected person easier. Another point is that it is extremely unlikely that drug resistance will occur. At present, the domestic Albovirate has been approved for marketing, it is in the form of infusion, once a week, a time of about 45 minutes, or relatively troublesome, but for drug-resistant infected people, is indeed a good choice. In the next ten years it will certainly reach the level of one injection per month, which is much more practical.
The next 20 years are likely to be cured, and the next decade is arguably the world of artificial intelligence, with many of the research results and speed of research increasing geometrically. For example, almost all of the infected people in the 1990s died within ten years, but the mortality rate has been reduced by more than half when they got antiviral treatment in '03. With better drugs and lower side effects taken in the future, the infected people will get a good life if they are detected early and take the medication in time.
According to big data, AIDS and cancer will be cured in the next 30 years, and that's according to Jack Ma. Think about how much the world has changed since the 80s. The changes that will happen in the next 30 years will be even greater than in the previous 30 years, and the results of scientific research will be even more amazing, and many things will develop faster than you can imagine. Just like the birth of Apple's cell phone, a cell phone without a keyboard, a cell phone that can zoom in on pictures with a thumb, a cell phone that can have gravity sensing is something that many consumers have never imagined. The future is the same, so the infected must be full of optimism.
Another point is not to discriminate, there are 120 million hepatitis B carriers in our country, there are a million or two hundred thousand people infected with HIV, and there are also infected with various other diseases, many people are shot at once, for example, the man was infected, and his girlfriend is not infatuated, and then infected, there are many examples of this. HIV is very fragile, leaving the body instantly inactivated, at present the country and even the world has not found a case of in vitro infection (refers to eating together to share the toilet, etc.), so do not be overly nervous.
I am in the biotechnology company, in fact, the world suffers from a variety of diseases are too many people, the next ten to twenty years almost every family is plagued by cancer, I think that no matter which disease, mankind should find a way to defeat it, rather than ridicule the patients. Together with the patients, we are on the road together, and finally, I hope that you will support us more positive billion biological, typed so many words ah is considered a small advertisement, thank you! The above content absolutely no copy and paste.
At present, there is no cure for AIDS, nor is there an effective vaccine, but there are better treatments that can effectively prolong the lives of patients and improve their quality of life. Therefore, the focus should be on prevention. Although drugs can prolong life, they have many side effects.
Can not, the infected person from the initial stage of infection, several years - up to 10 years or longer incubation period before becoming a patient. Extreme decline in resistance to appear a variety of infections, herpes zoster, tuberculosis, pneumonia, pneumocystis and other pathogens such as serious infections, later often malignant tumors, due to long-term consumption, systemic failure. I have a friend working in the hospital, is the obstetrics and gynecology, once said to me, met a patient looks very beautiful, and pregnant, she knows she has AIDS, but she wants this still, my friend was baffled, said the degree of do not know how to answer, the person has been said to ask her to think of a way, I listened to it and also feel sorry for it, who let you want to get the disease it? Now well, but here to tell you, do not outside easily with. People go to bed, or you will get AIDS!
As early as 2010, there was such a report in the United States, the patient is an American Timothy, Ray, Brown, suffering from leukemia and AIDS two kinds of diseases, because Brown's leukemia is more serious than the AIDS, the doctor decided to treat Brown's leukemia first, the doctor gave Brown a bone marrow transplant, I did not think that three years later, not only cured Brown's leukemia, but also cured him of AIDS, because Brown is working in Germany. was known as the 'Berlin Patient'.
From 2013 to now, the United States has reported several columns of AIDS cure, but only for leukemia patients, because leukemia patients are cured by bone marrow transplantation, this treatment can not be used for a large number of AIDS patients, for two reasons: 1, bone marrow transplantation is difficult to match the type. 2, due to the HIV infection of the AIDS patients are not the same, the same anti-AIDS drugs, for some patients to adapt to the disease, but for some patients can aggravate the disease. The same anti-AIDS drug can be adapted to some patients but exacerbate the condition of some patients.
All that can be said now is that there is just a glimmer of hope for a cure for AIDS!
Theoretically speaking, AIDS can be completely cured, because human beings already know that AIDS is caused by a virus, and the survival ability of the AIDS virus is not strong, like hepatitis B and other viruses, the survival ability is weak, and it is completely suppressed by the human body's immunity, as long as the patient's immunity does not completely collapse, AIDS will not attack, and will not jeopardize the patient's body and life. As long as we human beings can correctly improve the immunity of patients, and then combine with anti-HIV related drugs, we can completely inactivate the viral load of AIDS, and can completely cure AIDS, because AIDS is greatly different from the complex, unknown mechanism, including multiple diseases, a large number of major seizures, a large number of various types of cancer.
Why have we not yet conquered AIDS? First, for the sake of its long-term interests, the Western pharmaceutical groups monopolize all pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, and do not want to research, nor do they want to produce those one-shot deals that have a long-lasting cure and special drugs, so modern Western medicine, regardless of any disease, have to take drugs for life, which has become the norm in the treatment of human diseases.
Only Chinese medicine, which has not yet been monopolized in research and manufacture, should be pinned on Chinese medicine in conjunction with existing Western medicine in order to cure all chronic and persistent diseases, and only then will there be any hope of curing all diseases of mankind.
AIDS, also known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a serious infectious disease with a very high morbidity and mortality rate, which was first detected in the United States of America in 1981, and the first case was detected in our country in 1985. The source of infection is patients and asymptomatic infected people, and the way of transmission is through blood, sex and vertical transmission from mother to child. At present, the therapeutic drugs and vaccines have not been successfully developed, and there is no antidote or vaccine. At present, the main preventive measures, first, people should fully realize the harm of AIDS, he is not far away from us, is around. The second is to cut off the transmission channels is the most effective measures. First of all, cleanliness, only one sexual partner, do not have more than one sexual partner. Especially male male partners must wear a condom. Secondly, the safety of blood and blood products should be strictly ensured. Drug addicts are strictly forbidden to share a syringe and undergo drug treatment. Thirdly, those with multiple sexual partners and drug addicts should be monitored for anti-AIDS antibodies. Fourthly, mother-to-child transmission should be prevented, contraceptive measures should be taken, and for those who are already pregnant, interruption measures should be taken, and breastfeeding should not be used.
Last night, the CCTV evening news reported that an AIDS patient known as the "London Patient" had been undetectable for 18 months after a stem cell transplant. This means that after the "Berlin Patient", the second person to be cured of AIDS in the world may be emerging. According to the head of the treatment research team, a professor at University College London, the patient is now in good health, recovering very well from the bone marrow transplant, and 18 months after stopping the treatment, no virus has been found in the patient's body, and the patient's condition has been in "long-term remission".
The name of the "Berlin Patient" is Timothy Brown. Brown, who suffered from both AIDS and leukemia, was dubbed the "Berlin Patient" in 2007 after receiving radiation therapy and a stem cell transplant in Berlin, which made both diseases disappear.
"The Berlin Patient" was informed of the situation and wanted to work with the
''The London Patient" meets and encourages him to come out bravely as it will be very helpful for scientific progress and can give hope to people with HIV.
However, experts add that the treatment is not applicable to all AIDS patients. Cases show that scientists may one day eliminate AIDS, but it does not mean that a way to overcome it has been found.
Although a cure for AIDS has yet to be found, there is a glimmer of light on the way to curing the disease, and it is believed that light is not far away.






I specialize in AIDS prevention and I'll answer that.
HIV has become the focus of attention of the whole society. HIV is a virus that can attack the human immune system, taking the CD4T lymphocytes, which are important in the human immune system, as the target of attack, destroying a large number of these cells, causing the human body to lose its immune function, which will make the human body more susceptible to various infectious diseases and the occurrence of malignant tumors. At present, the main clinical use of "cocktail therapy" for treatment, so that AIDS can be effectively controlled. So has AIDS really been conquered?
There was a news that shocked the whole medical world: American Brown became the first person in the world to be cured of AIDS. The patient suffered from leukemia and AIDS at the same time. In the eyes of the medical profession, Brown was already a man about to step into the grave, but after receiving a bone marrow transplant, Brown was miraculously reborn and became the world's first AIDS patient to be cured, and doctors saw in him the miracle of the medical profession: the end of AIDS. Hilariously, the cure was due to the fact that his bone marrow donor was not only a perfect match, but also had a mutated gene in the bone marrow that naturally protects against HIV. Previous studies have found that this mutant gene exists only in a small number of northern Europeans. However, the method is expensive, complicated, risky, and requires finding a specific donor (someone with a gene that protects against HIV), so it is unlikely to be used for other AIDS patients.
At present, the University of Hong Kong announced on April 26, 2018, the University's research team developed a new type of antibody drug, can protect cells from HIV infection and clear the AIDS virus, and successfully conducted experiments in mice. It is understood that the drug can be combined with the host immune cell surface of the CD4 protein, the HIV virus can be "precision strike", but also to protect healthy cells, thereby controlling the spread of HIV. However, the drug has only been successfully tested in animal experiments and has not been used in the clinic, but the results of the study have shown initial hope for overcoming HIV. The new drug animal experiments have made significant progress, but the actual clinical effect still need time to verify, so AIDS has not yet been conquered, but from the day of conquering AIDS should not be far away. At present, the best way to control AIDS is still prevention, so it is necessary to be clean, strictly prevent blood infection, and eliminate any form of drug use.
I am in the CDC professional to do AIDS prevention and treatment work, there are questions about AIDS-related issues, you can pay attention to private letter advice Oh, thank you.
Since the question is limited to the current level of medical care, it is easy to answer that with the current level of medical care, AIDS can only be controlled, not yet cured.
Now mentioned more, is the functional cure of AIDS, in some acute infected people, that is, just infected, for example, testing homosexual high-risk groups, every three months to test the AIDS antibody, can be found from the negative to positive people, this is the acute, just infected, or AIDS pregnant women gave birth to a child, diagnosed immediately after the start of treatment, wait until the virus is undetectable after the maintenance of a After the virus is undetectable, it will be maintained for a period of time, and then the medication will be discontinued. These people have less latent virus in their bodies, and after the virus is undetectable in the blood and the treatment is maintained, an attempt is made to stop the medication, and then the viral load in the blood is tested.
Unfortunately, this method has not been able to achieve a cure as the drug is discontinued for longer periods of time and the virus is successively detected again in the blood of infected people.
However, there are also a small number of people where the virus is undetectable for a very long period of time, and this part of the population achieves a functional cure, which means that although it is not curable and sooner or later it will come back, at least for a period of time it does not require medication, the virus is undetectable and has no effect on the body, and how to make this period of time last longer requires more and more detailed research.
The best antiretroviral treatment available is one that does not affect the life expectancy of HIV-infected people, or affects it very little, no more than five years, and this has been achieved or is being achieved in many places.
Distance from the most promising stage of achievement now, is the long-lasting antiviral drugs, injection of a drug, can effectively control the virus for a week, or even a month to two months, so it is much more convenient, the infected person can not take the drug out of the country long-distance travel, a very small impact on the life, compared to high blood pressure diabetes, nearsightedness, presbyopia, can not be separated from the medication and equipment, but also a very provincial.
The long-term goal for the future is, of course, to have a complete cure, to say goodbye to medications completely, and to achieve eradication as in the case of hepatitis C.
Another direction of research into is vaccines, and while the media continues to break the news about vaccine progress, there will not be a reliable vaccine on the market for at least a decade.
