Not a cure but this is good news regardless. Very Happy

Never understood the whole quote thing unfortunately but if someone else wants to do it i'd be grateful.

-Better still is the fact that to avoid AIDS alltogether all you need to do is practice abstinence! Then you wouldn't even need the drug! That would be better still.

I absolutely agree, Cactus Ja... uh, Dude Love!

Like most ESLers, I refrain from living a life where sex, alcolohism, and downright tomfoolery is the norm! Keep it real, brothers, and keep it clean!

This could begreat news, but only if it gets to the people who need it, and I don't mean just the rich ones. What are the chances of that happening? And Dude Love, while what you said certainly reduces the risk of getting AIDS, what about people who get it in other ways? What about people who are born with it? What about rape victims who get it?

Don't forget intravenous drug users - they too are innocent victims in the chaos that is AIDS.

Not to mention people who get blood transfusions.

Even so, why should people only have a choice between abstainance and a deadly illness?

I have the good kind. Every morning when i wake up there is a fresh new batch of ripe, red cherries sprouting from my scrotum.

I pluck them off and eat them with my morning pancakes...But the cherries taste kinda fishy and move around like crayfish.

Oh, maybe its not good AIDS.

Err...carry on

Disappointing, to say the least.

The link quite clearly includes the word "ASAHI" in not one, but two places.

There I was expecting the cure for HIV to be as simple as drinking a few bottles of good Japanese beer, but no. Thanks a lot for ruining my day, buttmunch. Wink
