Cure for AIDS!

[Seik]

No one's every going to "cure" AIDS. What else would we have to talk about besides your mom?

When people say stuff like that it really depresses me, but not because I don't believe it. The naive, optimistic part of me would love to know that one day we'll find a cure for AIDS and Cancer, but the other part of me that spends time in the real world on a daily basis knows that'll probably never be the case, for all of the wrong reasons.

Sorry to depress you, but I believe that if it does indeed happen, it won't be in our lifetime.

Yellerdog was probably joking, and I know I'm generalizing here, but a part of me agrees that people would probably be less sexually responsible if a cure for AIDS was found and announced, so I don't know how I feel about an AIDS cure. I know AIDS can able be transmitted via other means, but sex is the primary mode.

Cancer, on the other hand, just sucks because it can just come out of nowhere and there's not much you can do to 100% prevent it. A cure for cancer would be a great thing.

I was exactly Not Joking about that, actually. The same conditions that made it so easy for HIV/AIDS to become widespread initially would immediately pop back up (people's attitudes about "maybe" cures getting announced seems to reflect this, imagine an actual cure), and it wouldn't take a huge amount of time for some other virus to take advantage of the same exact social behaviors (i.e. whee fuck everything lol condoms! oh wait everybody's dead again!)

In other words, if AIDS suddenly didn't exist, people would go ahead and make another one.


Mind you, I totally think they should cure it if they can. The problem is people, though.

[Andrew]

I just don't fuck people with AIDS. So far, so good.

Yeah, a cure for AIDS would be great and all, but it's about as useful to me as a cure for drinking Drano.
