OK this sounds fantastic, but is it going to be another case of an expert dropping in on this thread and going "Ah, 100s of these come out every month. It's promising but nowhere near human trials yet."

We don't need an expert even - pre-clinical is a far ways off even if successful.

This is in the "interesting advancement" stage, not "promising treatment."

The timeline of HIV/AIDS discovery to treatment to "cure" is fascinating to me

I distinctly remember Reagan cabinet members openly joking about all the people dying from it in WhiteHouse press briefing (basically Trump before Trump prototypes)

Now if they could just do this for me-cfs/long-covid and related auto-immune diseases (there are over eighty) without the 50 year timeline please

The people who would "let their guard down" did long before this news. (Or Prep, for that matter.)

This follows a widely renounced successful treatment drug too right?

The hype train is strong. In reality antibodies can do absolutely nothing against retroviruses integrating into the genome. What they basically do is keep a host of perpetually paying customers. That does not solve the underlying problem.

Well that's definitely a take. I'm not going to be the first in line to defend government, but more often than not I'm seeing friends and family getting chased out of the hospital BEFORE they should be.

You don’t recover from HIV at home. We tried that in the 80’s because we had to.

Have they tried having personal responsibility for their own health?

There's non-vaccine treatments and holistic therapies that work great for HIV too. Though if you talk about this you get labeled woo or an enemy to science. If people could make more money off those alternatives though I think it would be more acceptable to discuss.
