AIDS is treatable in the same way HIV is. Back In the 90s there were a lot of people with aids at the time when the retrovirals came out, and they got better and are still alive. None of this means HIV is curable. You will always be infected and without treatment you will eventually get aids unless you die of something else first.

Oh for sure. The damage to the immune system reverses itself very slowly and there is probably a point where it is just too far gone, but usually that is someone who is already very ill.
Also, forgot to mention that if you are the top, being circumcised reduces the chance of infection by over 60%.

I was going to argue that HIV is in fact CURABLE, but then thought, these mother fatherfuckers won't listen and/or do their own goddamned research, so fuck it - let them all die for their stupidity.
Then I thought that wouldn't be a very Shroomy thing to say, so I deleted it.

Hey, I helped with some of that "research" :p
Well, like 12 years ago when I was still working in academia.
Even though NERPRC showed it was possible there is no "cure" for HIV unless you're referring to post-exposure prophylaxis or something. Long term, though... Nope
If there's a cure then what is it? What's the name

I meant something actually being prescribed to people.
Though looking it up it says there has been research done that shows it might be possible through nano-particle therapy.
It looks highly theoretical at this point.
So, back to square one. It might happen some day but there isn't actually a cure yet.

There's some research to suggest circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection because the foreskin contains a high concentration of Langerhans Cells, which are susceptible to the HIV virus.
The degree of protection is contentious and only relates to the insertive partner (hetero male or gay top). On an epidemiological level it seems to make little difference to transmission rates of gay men, but might offer a benefit on an individual level.

Is this the study to which you are referring?

It's not copying right so just CTRL+F for "There are a number of plausible mechanisms"

No, I wasn't referring to any article in particular. More of a general review of my reading on the topic.
