HIV Cure News (2013) "Invisibility Cloak" Discovered on Virus

HIV's cure may be one step closer. Scientists at University College London have uncovered a molecular cloaking technique used by the HIV virus that enables it to become invisible within human cells, preventing the body's natural defense systems from reacting. The latest discovery may help scientists to find a drug that can 'uncloak' the virus, thereby allowing the body's natural immune system to stop the virus from replicating. The team of scientists identified two molecules inside host cells that are utilized by HIV that prevent the virus from reproducing its genetic material too quickly: this brief stasis shields the virus from the immune system's alarm. The HIV study was led by Professor Greg Towers of Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow at University College London. Professor Towers maintained that "There's a great deal more research needed but the potential for this approach is huge, as a possible treatment in itself but also as a complement to existing therapies. We're also interested to see whether blocking these cloaking molecules can help to boost immune responses to experimental vaccines against HIV or be used to protect against HIV transmission." Towers explained that the findings solve the mystery of how HIV was able to replicate without alerting the body's anti-viral programme. "HIV is extremely adept at hiding from our body's natural defences which is part of the reason the virus is so dangerous," Professor Towers continued. "Now we've identified the virus' invisibility cloak and how to expose it, we've uncovered a weakness that could be exploited for new HIV treatments. There's a great deal more research needed, but the potential for this approach is huge - as a possible treatment in itself but also as a complement to existing therapies. We're also interested to see whether blocking these cloaking molecules can help to boost immune responses to experimental vaccines against HIV or be used to protect against HIV transmission."

Cure for HIV AIDs is Found

London, scientists began to find problems for the HIV AIDS virus cure. Research over the past 20 years has led to the discovery of better treatments for people living with HIV.

British researchers and the United States has managed to grow a crystal that allows researchers to see the structure of an enzyme called integrase. This enzyme is found in retroviruses such as HIV and is a target for a new HIV drug. Read more... "Although initially working too hard and our efforts often fail, but we do not give up and eventually our efforts rewarded," said Peter Cherepanov from Imperial College London, who conducted the study with scientists from Harvard University, was quoted as saying by Reuters on Monday (1 / 2 / 2010). Scientists from Imperial and Harvard announced that it has successfully had the structure of the integrase of the virus. This means that researchers can begin to understand how the work of the integrase inhibitor drugs and how to stop the development of HIV. In the journal Nature, explains when Cherepanov human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to infect a person, use the enzyme integrase to insert copies of genetic information in DNA that person. Some new drugs like Isentress for HIV from Merck & Co. and Elvitegravir (experimental drug from Gilead Sciences) works by blocking integrase. But the scientists do not yet know exactly how the work of the integrase and how to fix it. The only way to know is to get high-quality crystals. "When we decided to start with, we know this is a difficult project.'ve Tried many tricks but always failed, so had to return to the starting point for models of HIV integrase better crystallization process," said Cherepanov. It takes more than 40,000 tests in order to obtain a high-quality crystals that allows researchers to view three-dimensional structure. Researchers grow crystals by using loans from the retroviral integrase similar to HIV. Researchers examining crystals from Merck medicines and Gilead in order to see how these drugs bind and inhibit integrase work. Since the beginning of AIDS epidemic nearly 60 million people have been infected with HIV and 25 million people died related to HIV. Although the combination of several drugs can make patients still look healthy, but until now there is no vaccine or medicine that can cure her. Data of the United Nations in the year 2008 there were 33.4 million people infected with HIV and 2 million of whom died of AIDS. The worst hit region is the impact of sub-Saharan Africa. source: http://www.achiles-zone.info/2010/02/cure-for-hiv-aids-is-found.html

HIV breakthrough

A Canada-U.S. research team has solved a major genetic mystery: How a protein in some people's DNA guards them against killer immune diseases such as HIV. In an advance on-line edition of Nature Medicine, the scientists explain how the protein, FOX03a, shields against viral attacks and how the discovery will help in the development of a HIV vaccine.

Five Steps to a Happier Life

A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV Updated : by River Huston

A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV Updated from River Huston on Vimeo.

I always wanted to write something similar documentary because when we used to chat in Paltalk I had a chance to meet a lot of people living with HIV virus. For so many of them especially for women, it's challenging to be HIV positive and lead a normal life while living abroad (being immigrant). I found this documentary/book very interesting and I wanted to share it with you guys.

Discrimination - Deportation of HIV migrants

A story about a migrant worker who was deported when the results of an involuntary HIV test turned out positive. In this story the UN human rights office says denying entry or stay of people living with HIV is discriminatory and this is
preventing an appropriate response to curb the spread of the virus

XVIII International AIDS Conference July 18-23 2010 Vienna, Austria

XVIII International AIDS Conference July 18-27 2010 - Vienna Austria

This year the International AIDS Conference takes place in Vienna, Austria.
Under the theme "Rights Here, Right Now", biannual conference "AIDS 2010" also stresses that concrete human rights measures are needed to protect those most vulnerable to and affected by HIV such as women and girls, people who use drugs, migrants, prisoners and sex workers. (UN Human Rights)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey guys before I start enjoying my Chocolate I just want to share this with you guys.

For those of us who worry too much not to exceed the daily calories intake and try to stay away from sweet especially on Valentine's day, I have a good news for you guys, consuming chocolate in a daily basis, which gives especially for women a significant amount of health benefits. Study shows one of the benefits is improving or maintaining a healthy sexual drives/function and the other one is improving mood statues.
So enjoy your valentine's day by consuming enough chocolate (especially Dark Chocolate) I love Dark Chocolate :).

Happy Valentine's Day!

Final Rule Removing HIV Infection from U.S. Immigration Screening

After 22 yeas, HIV travel and Immigration ban, it was first established in 1987, and today Jan 4, 2010 has been lifted.

General Questions and Answers

Immigrants and refugees must undergo a medical exam as part of the immigration process for entry into the United States. The exam includes screening for any illness defined as a communicable disease of public health significance. All of these diseases can be easily spread between people. Those immigrants and refugees found to have these diseases may not enter the United States.

The screening process, along with this list of diseases which can prevent entry into the United States, are outlined in federal regulations written by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If new diseases emerge or as more is learned about diseases already on this list, regulatory changes can be made to alter the disease list.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CDC are removing HIV infection from the list of diseases that keep non-U.S. citizens from entering the United States. General information about the change is provided below:

What was the process for removing HIV from the list and when will the change take effect?

HHS published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on July 2, 2009 explaining the proposed changes in the Federal Register and seeking public comment on those changes. The proposed rule was based on the science that HIV is not spread through casual contact. A public comment period was open until August 17, 2009. These public comments were considered in making the final policy decision. After the comment period closed, CDC carefully reviewed over 20,000 public comments. Most comments supported the rule as proposed.

The final rule was published on November 2, 2009 in the Federal Register. After the 60-day waiting period required by federal guidelines, the final rule will go into effect on January 4, 2010.

Before the effective date of January 4, 2010, what changes will take place for non-U.S. citizens with HIV infection who wish to enter the United States?

Until the final rule is in effect on January 4, 2010, non-U.S. citizens who have HIV cannot come to the United States unless granted a waiver by the Department of Homeland Security. Also, all those applying for an immigrant visa will have to be tested for HIV infection during the immigrant medical exam until January 4, 2010.

Under the new rule, effective on January 4, 2010, HIV testing will no longer be required as part of the immigrant medical exam. In addition, waivers will no longer be needed for HIV infection.

What diseases prevent non-U.S. citizens from coming to the United States?

Diseases that can prevent entry to the U.S. fall into three categories:

• Any of the following diseases: active tuberculosis, infectious syphilis, gonorrhea, infectious leprosy, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, and HIV infection. (HIV infection will be removed on January 4, 2010)
• Quarantinable diseases designated by any Presidential Executive Order. The current list of diseases includes cholera, diphtheria, infectious tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and influenza caused by novel or re-emergent influenza (pandemic flu).
• Diseases reportable as a public health emergency of international concern to the World Health Organization under the International Health Regulations of 2005. These diseases currently include: polio, smallpox, SARS, pandemic flu and other public health emergencies of international concern.

HIV infection will be removed as a communicable disease of public health significance effective January 4, 2010. At that time, HIV infection will not be used to keep people from entering the United States.

Who is affected by the rule change?

Those who are not U.S. citizens will no longer be denied entry to the United States based on their HIV status. This would include: immigrants (including those in the United States applying for change of status to lawful permanent resident), refugees, and those seeking asylum. This also includes temporary visitors for school, work or pleasure.

Why did CDC remove HIV infection from the list of diseases that can prevent non-U.S. citizens from entering the United States?

When the regulation preventing non-U.S. citizens from entering the country was created in 1987, far less was known about how HIV infection is spread and what puts people at risk for HIV. Health experts now know that HIV is not spread through casual contact like hugging or shaking hands. Nor is HIV spread through the air, food or water. In the United States, HIV infection is passed between adults almost solely through unprotected sex with someone who has HIV or by sharing needles or syringes used by someone with HIV. Removing HIV infection from the list of illnesses that prevent entry to the United States is based on this improved knowledge of the risk of spreading the disease.

Will the rule change increase the risk that average Americans will contract HIV?

Allowing non-U.S. citizens with HIV infection into the United States will not pose a risk to the public’s health through casual contact. HIV infection is preventable and is not spread through casual contact or day-to-day activities. It is mainly spread through behaviors which involve the exchange of bodily fluids during sex or sharing of needles.

HIV is not a new virus in the United States. Currently, it’s estimated that more than 1 million Americans are living with HIV. It is important to remember that any risk posed by people with HIV is not a result of their nationality. The risk of spreading HIV is only increased when a person engages in specific behaviors, such as having unprotected sex or sharing needles.

Why are HHS and CDC removing only HIV infection when other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are still on the list of diseases that prevent entry?

Legislation passed in July 2008 removed language from the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) related to HIV. This original text had mandated that HIV infection be on the list of diseases that can keep people from coming to the United States. The decision to remove HIV infection from the regulations is because of this change in law and the science of how HIV is spread. In the United States, HIV infection is passed between adults almost solely through unprotected sex with someone who has HIV or by sharing needles or syringes used by someone with HIV. HIV is not spread through casual contact.

CDC continues to review the list of diseases in the regulations. If CDC seeks to remove other STDs in the future, it will do so through the federal rulemaking process.

Why does the law require 60 days before the final rule can go into effect?

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires a 60-day waiting period for any rule that has a major economic impact. An economic analysis has shown that this rule will have a major national economic impact. Thus, this rule meets the OMB guidelines for the 60-day waiting period.

The 60-day waiting period will begin on November 2, 2009. Thus, the final rule will go into effect on January 4, 2010.

Where can I find out more about the new rule?

Wake Up The Matrix Has You

Hello Everyone,
Someone sent me this message and I remember having this kind of discussion in our room Paltalk. As well as one of my closest friends, has the same stand, she was telling me: she watched videos, read documents that proof this statement's true. She also discussed this issue with her Pal friends in their own room and they seems to be convinced on the idea of what this message is stating. Usually, I do not post message like this but I just want to share it with you all.

Part#1 Follow the white rabbit

Part#1
AIDS is man made and thanks to a brilliant Dr by the name of Dr Boyd Graves and Dr Leonard Horowitz we have the proof and can prove it. Did you know 8 out 10 people of color already believe that aids was man made even with out proof. Why is that ? Because you don't have to be a Dr or a scientist to know things don't add up. In the words of my Brother Kanye West (If Magic Johnson got a cure for aids and all the poor people passed away) Now many of you have not done enough research for to start at the very beginning. So let's start from where we can prove it is man made with our governments documents. Now the key word here is Government documents this is not a 9-11 conspiracy theory that is open for debate this is our own governments document and one by one I will break it down to all of you. Let's start on June 9 1969 when the US Pentagon went before congress and asked for 10 million dollars to create a synthetic bio logical agent that would deplete the defense system to allow for the on sight of a infectious disease. How do we know this we have the documents to prove it's called Hr 15090 watch the video below. I also wanted to point out 10 years after they asked for the money we had the virus that we now call HIV and Aids.

Part#2
Now let's fast forward to January 1971 why this date? you may ask because this is when President Nixon aka Tricky Nixy as he was called announced his campaign to find a cure for cancer he made plan to invest over 100 million dollars to find a cure. Now something else happen that same year October 1971 the Army's Fort Detrick, Maryland, biological warfare facility was converted to a cancer research center, eventually becoming the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center. They would start what would be called The Us Special Virus Cancer Program. Now there is one issue here that I want everybody to be aware of because by law this program had to produce progress reports. The first report released was progress report#8 now how can there be a number 8 if this was the first year of the program. The answer is it was not the first year and they have been working on this cancer program for years and thanks to the freedom of Information act Dr graves along with other research went back to the library and found the missing progress reports that shows the blue print of HIV/Aids not just a document saying they made it but a blue print of how they put it together. The program originally started in 1962 and ended in 1978. It shows in the progress report that they created the ESP-1 virus compared under a microscope this virus is identical to HIV/ Aids. It also shows that they have successful created a biological agent that would deplete the body defense system know someone tell me what HIV does to your body?

Part#3
Now I want everyone reading this to put on there detective hats right now we are going to solve aids. I believe it was Sherlock Holmes who said if you eliminate the illogical the only thing remaining will be the truth no matter how none logical it seems. So what do we know about aids there are four hiv virus we only deal with the main ones in the US. We were told that a African and a monkey did something sexually that started aids.Than that person did something with a women and passed it on this is what we were told.. Now I want you guys to keep that in mind when I make this next point. Now a group of Dr and scientist from all over the world researched HIV/Aids to find out what it was with the hopes of finding a cure. Now all of these Dr from all over the world and here in the US concluded 29% of hiv is made up of a Icelandic sheep disease called Visna only found in Iceland. Now lets pause it right there and go back to what we were told about HIV and how it came to be. So the monkey that carried the virus took a flight to Iceland had sex with a sheep infected with Visna caught a plane back to Africa in time to infect the African with Aids? lol !! Now ask your self this question if Monkeys where really where aids came from why are there still monkeys living. What happen did the monkeys do what we did started practicing safe sex? Is that why we have not seen a mass death rate in monkeys like there is with black people or people of color. Aids never came from a monkey it was tested on them yes but it never came from them. In the progress reports of the Us Special Virus Program it show them testing Visna with a monkey virus Ironically after Dr Graves went public with this information Chapter#10 of that progress report was taken out of the world data base library but its ok he had made copies so we still have the original documents. Now what all of you have to understand when you read this is all of this is public information you can go to the world data base library and type in the Us Special Virus Program and view the documents before they delete all of it.

Why Part#1
Why!!!

Now in the movie the Matrix, Morpheus said this to Neo before he gave him the red pill, "All I'm offering you is the truth". Let's all take the red pill. Dr. Graves knew that if he was going to prove Aids is man made he could not build a case on speculation. He knew that if he testified along with other doctors and scientist on the stand that their credibility would be attacked and disputed. All kinds of court room magic would take place to install doubt. But if you put forth our own government documents to prove this AIDS was created by our government. Then there would be no room for doubt and no cross examination. Now, in a murder trail you have to show proof and motive to convict someone of murder. And that's just what we intend to do. So we now know Aid's and HIV is man made, but why? Keep in mind when we are talking about government documents that you can google anything I have told you and research it for your self. It's all public information. Next, let's journey back into time to March 16, 1970 where Richard Nixon states: "In the United States effort to 'stabilize the population of Sub-Saharan Africa' and thus, increase the national security of future United States, Nixon proclaims there would be 'explosive events' (relative to John D. Rockefeller, IIIs oversight on the problem of African overpopulation. Now the key word I want everyone to focus on is Overpopulation. Not only does he say there is a need to stabilize the African population he signs it in to law. How do we know this; well we have the documents to prove it. It is U.S. Public Law 91-213. So let me break that down for those of you who missed that. President Nixon signed into law a plan to stabilize the African population.

Why#2

Why !!!
Now what if I walked up to you on the street and told you that the US has plans to kill Africans and poor countries all over the world so that they can take over their natural resources. Let's be honest, everyone of you would look at me like I was crazy.I would react the exact same way. Now what if I told you I have the proof and the government documents to prove it. You can Google this document, it is called "N.S.M 200". Take a minute and read through it. To summarize all the fancy talk, it says that if we can decrease the population off the third worlds ie Africa, India etc.. what would be left is their natural resources for us. Now, let's stop right here. Does anyone know where aids has the highest population in the world? Most of you would guess Africa, but it's actually India, then Africa. All of third world countries have the highest population for Aids. How many of you have heard the name ,HENRY A. KISSINGER. If you have been keeping up with the media you would have seen him along with David Rockefeller showing their support and predicting the election for president Obama. What you might not know is that HENRY A. KISSINGER is the same person who wrote the NSM 200 in April of 1974.

Why#3
Why !!!

I need everyone reading this to put their detective hats back on and let's get to work.
We now have researched that in 1970 President Nixon signed in to law a plan to stabilize the African population because of over population. We also know Nixon appointed HENRY A. KISSINGER who in 1974 wrote N.S.M.200, a plan to depopulate the third world as a plan to take over third world countries' natural resources. What you don't know is that this very same year a group of World Nations now called the United Nations met in Bucharest, Romania for what they called a World Population Reduction Meeting. Once again, all of this is public record. Now let's pause right here and ask yourself this question, "How do you reduce a population?" There are only two ways to do this in either a mass increase in the death rate or a mass decrease in the birth rate. The sad part of this is some African leaders were at this meeting and they all agreed to comb their population. (Pause) Does anyone know what happens in China if a family has more than one child? Per Chinese Law, the second baby is aborted (meaning killed), the man is forced to a vasectomy and the family gets a big fine. Now, this is where it gets thick. In 1979 was the first time in world history when an outbreak of aids occurred in two spots at the same time. One in Africa and another epidemic in gay men in New York City. How is that you may ask? The answer is it cant happen naturally. What you don't know is our government recruited 1086 promiscuous homosexual men to take an experimental Hepatitis B vaccine from 1979 to the early eighties. All 1086 men died of Aids. How do we know this, there are governement contracts showing reports of this experimental vaccine . Please google the Hepatitis B Manhattan project for your personal research. This is very important because the government can say they did not know that the vaccines where contaminated with Aids. Than why in their contract are they recruiting promiscuous homosexual males; as these are the exact words used on the reports and contracts. They could have recruited anyone including non promiscuous men or woman. I want everyone to think about the word promiscuous and what it means. Now, how do we know it was our government who put aids in the vaccine. Well some off the families of the 1086 men got up enough courage and sued our government and settlements where issued with gag orders (Meaning they cannot go public with any information in reference to this experimental vaccine). Why would the government prevent people from talking about this information unless they had something to hide.You can pull up the case files and see they won the law suits.

Here is all the proof share it with your friends and love ones
