I also hav d same type of opinion like u. M a medical student. Smetimes i think that i can find permanent cure 4 AIDS. Its possible only if i knw A-Z of pathogenesis, virulence, treatment of AIDS as per new researches..... I feel i cud! bt....... There r millions of big scientists working on this dreadful disease 4 finding its cure... What m i?
Prevention is better than cure.
Even Maintainance is better than repair.
Treatment: There r many drugs which deactivate reverse transcriptase enzyme responsible 4 multiplication of virus.
ZIDOVUDINE, LAMIVUDINE, STAVUDINE r sme of d drugs..
To eradicate dis disease we shud introduce 1 chapter in may b in 10th standard in schools. That chapter shud contain prevention of AIDS n all types of precautions regarding it.
We shud introduce sme more chapters like course of vaccinations in a child etc which r general health topics, whch every1 of us shud know....
I feel 4 us education is more important than finding a cure 4 it, which already is being done by Scientists.......
