Let's play doctor~
either the biggest coincidence ever or the most amazing discovery ever.
I don't know about you guys but I would take HIV over cancer any day.
The thread title says "cured" but the article says that it only fights it...
The subject's words after learning that his cancer had been defeated by HIV:
"Oh COME ON!"
Can we use cancer to cure AIDS too?
:v:

zombie virus
You know, I remember reading a story in PopSci about how they were trying to use modified cancer cells to combat AIDS.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;32349247]Can we use cancer to cure AIDS too?

We'll give patients T-cell cancer so that the cells can reproduce uncontrollably and fight the losses incurred by the HIV virus

"Oh yeah, man. This thing will cure your smallpox!"
"JUST my Smallpox? Trash it, don't want it."
Now use cancer to cure AIDS.

[QUOTE=Jookia;32330960]Oh, so it's just lymphocytic leukemia, which is a cancer, I guess-[/QUOTE]
JUST? Are you mentally retarded? Also what do you mean "you guess"? Leukemia is no less a cancer than any other cancers, it's cancer of the blood instead of soft tissues, which makes it in many cases harder to treat.

No shit that it kills cancer, Hiv kills everything.
[QUOTE=Stick it in her pooper;32354130]No shit that it kills cancer, Hiv kills everything.[/QUOTE]HIV and AIDS don't kill you. What kills you are complications related to having your immune system reduced to ash.
Misread title. Thought it said modified HEV. Got a little worried for a second.
"Great news! We got rid of your cancer and replaced it with HIV!"
Yaaaaay.
I imagine the doctor's conversation with the patient probably going something like this:
"So, Mr. Jefferson, which would you rather have? Leukemia or Human Immunodeficiency Virus?"
"Uhh, what are those exactly? They sound rather unpleasant."
"Ohh, well one is a horrible and painful cancer in your blood that will eventually kill you, and the other is a horrible virus that means that eventually a runny nose could kill you."
"WHAT! Both of those sound equally horrible! I don't want either!"
"Too bad, you're getting one of them."

HIV is a lot more controllable than leukemia.

So I'd go with the HIV.

HIV can be kept at bay pretty well with medication.

You're so optimistic.
Is it weird if I thought if I had this idea, like, years ago or will everyone just think I'm bullshitting.

Sorry for your loss.
Probably dumb, but I was thinking of Resident Evil, when I read about that T-cells.
[quote]4. The modified T-cells are returned to the patient. Within the patient the newly re-programmed T-cells proliferate.
"The patient becomes a bioreactor," said June.
5. Over the next few weeks the patient develops a temperature, chills, shakes, low blood pressure, and other flu-like symptoms. The symptoms are caused by chemicals called cytokines produced by the T-cells.[/quote]
Is this not exactly what happened to the folks in the movie, except they died at point 5 or something?
oh noz but u see the aids will make it imposible for immune system to fite cancer virus!
