No Faith...

I have no faith in the idea of a cure for HIV.  I think there will be alterations & even improvements in treatment of the virus.  Still, I doubt there will ever be a cure.  Why?

That's easy!

It's unlikely there will ever be enough $ in a cure to make it a salable approach to big pharmaceutical companies.  HIV is a huge cash cow for these corporations, they will never willingly give it up.  And, multiple sources are helping them keep the game going.

Governments will fund HIV meds, but not any type education of sex that would include education regarding HIV.  Many governments will fund PrEP, but not condoms.  They argue that condoms could lead to sex.   Groups push treatment as prevention. Churches keep touting the sin of HIV & increasing its stigma.   Many bloggers & writers downplay the seriousness of the illness.  Many doctors won't even test for HIV. 

Those are just a few of the ways groups are promoting HIV & therefore aiding big drug companies like Gilead.   The promotion of HIV in modern society is systemic & insidious. Actions of our social institutions themselves actually promote the spread of HIV.  Actions that aren't directly opposing this virus are detrimental in the fight against HIV.  

Let's be blunt.  Your government, your schools, your media, your churches, your economic institutions, many of your peer groups are supporting the spread of HIV.  It may not be intentional or even a massive effort, but they are still complicit when they don't actively stand against this virus.  These groups are part of the spread of HIV & funding these drug companies.

They could just as easily be part of the fight against HIV if they choose to be.  Why aren't they?  $$$, fear anger, hate, arrogance, indifference...
