HIV is a virus - there is no cure AIDS is the term given for when a patient with HIV presents a number of illnesses (i.e. sore like Karposi's Sarcoma). People without HIV can get these ilnneses, but when a number appear in one person with HIV they are termed AIDS. There is no cure as it is HIV causing the problem

Not currently, but perhaps there will be better living through science? Or, biotechnology... In Germany, doctors have claimed to cure a man of AIDS by treating his concurrent Leukemia with stem cell therapy. Leukemia is best treated by a bone marrow transplant, and the bone marrow used was from a person with a natural immunity to HIV. He has now gone 20 months symptom free. UC Davis is also currently in the process of engineering a patientâ€™s stem cells to mimic a natural resistance to the AIDS virus. Here is a related article:

Cure for HIV and AIDS January 22, 2008: Hulda Regehr Clark tells the microbiological detective story in which some of the best brains in science have been pitted against the most extraordinary bug the world has ever seen. In 1984 it was discovered that HIV was the cause of AIDS. Straight away, there were confident predictions that there would be a vaccine ready for testing in just two years. Back then, just 1,292 deaths from AIDS had been reported. Now the figure is 25 million dead. By 2010 it is predicted there will be 85 million infections and 70 million deaths. And after 20 years there is still no sign of a vaccine. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&ISBN=9781890035020&ourl=The%2DCure%2Dfor%2DHIV%2Dand%2DAIDS%2FHulda%2DRegehr%2DClark

No, there is no cure. I hope someday a cure is found though, because this is one of the most deadly diseases out there.

AIDS was very rare if at all in the 60's it hit around the late 60's then in the 70's. Every one thought they were going to die. It was like the Bubonic plague hitting. No one really knew what was going to happen. I remember in the early 70's three cases that hit out biggest city in the area, they had no idea what to do with these people.
2 :
I think the major scare was in the late 70s and early 80s. I know someone who had a baby around this time and there was a mass panic - my baby picked up a cup in a restaurant! He's going to get aids! And - omg my baby touched a door handle! No one really knew how it was transmitted and it was a very scary time for people. A lot of rumours were going around about how it could be caught from kissing or touching someone's hand.
3 :
First confirmed case of a person dying from HIV/AIDS complications was Robert R. from Missouri in North America in 1969, but his cause of death was not confirmed until 1984. In the early 80s, HIV/AIDS was not what it was today. It was gay men in NYC and San Francisco who were dying from a rare form of pneumonia (PCP) at a high rate from an unknown disease, that was later termed GRID (gay-related immunodeficiency disease), and would eventually be called HIV/AIDS. There was not the "panic" that set in with the early 90s, but it was getting there.
4 :
A lot of people even today have the same attitude about HIV/AIDS as they would have done in the early 80's.
5 :
it really wasn't prevalent until the late 70s. and the majority of folks thought that it was a gay men's disease. but we all know now that's not the case.
6 :
Scientists think that HIV has been around since the turn of the last century,and some think from the 1930's. In the 80's people thought that HIV was a disease of gay men and iv drug users.When Rock Hudson became infected people took HIV seriously.There was no public knowledge of HIV between 1955 and 1977. There was and still is stigma associated with HIV.

You met a man for the first time and he proposed marriage to you. You have never had children before but you have it in mind that aids exists but you would not want to miss the opportunity of getting married. What would you do?

Sperm Wash! look it up

Both of you should be tested for the virus, and when you both get a clean bill of health and decide to be committed...then you should be safe
3 :
Sexually active smart people (an oxymoron, eh?) these days are tested every 6 months. Assuming a monogamous relationship, testing will need to continue for at least 12 months after that. See if he can be monogamous long enough for a 12 month engagement with no sex. If he can't make it that long, he'll never make it long enough to bother getting married (much less raising children). Tip: I doubt you will find Mr. Right in a bar
4 :
both of you get the test. if positive, make the decision. if negative, then go for it.
5 :
Both of you should get tested for every STD under the sun before entering into a sexual relationship.
6 :
insemenated with his sperm.
7 :
Does this man have Aids, or do you? If you are worried about contracting the disease both of you get a STD test and make sure you are in a commited relationship because a negative STD test result means nothing if one of you is still sleeping with other people.
