not really that shocking, it's just a testament to how tough the disease is
considering only a few years ago it was still considered incurable, that's a pretty big leap
hell look how long it took to even get polio under control
In 1936, Maurice Brodie, a research assistant at New York University, attempted to produce a formaldehyde-killed polio vaccine from ground-up monkey spinal cords.
A breakthrough came in 1948 when a research group headed by John Enders at the Children's Hospital Boston successfully cultivated the poliovirus in human tissue in the laboratory.
In 1952 and 1953, the U.S. experienced an outbreak of 58,000 and 35,000 polio cases, respectively, up from a typical number of some 20,000 a year.
The first effective polio vaccine was developed in 1952 by Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh. But it needed years of testing. To encourage patience, Salk went on CBS radio to report a successful test on a small group of adults and children on March 26, 1953; two days later the results were published in JAMA.
The development of two polio vaccines led to the first modern mass inoculations. The last cases of paralytic poliomyelitis caused by endemic transmission of wild virus in the United States occurred in 1979
Less likley to get it, if you don't do it in the poop shoot and or shoot up drugs.

Well, unlike diabetes, epilepsy, and psychological disorders, HIV is something you acquire through an activity that you willfully engaged in. Plus, HIV doesn't interfere with your life the way the others do.

Seemed pretty quick to me actually. And they have far fewer cases to treat, far fewer samples they could even use to test with, and far less money to work with.
You are absolutely 100% right. Those would be ways to not spread the virus. Most, but not all the cases, but you are right.
How do you consider that fast? Yes they started to look at the disease in the 30's and basically had it done with by the 70's but polio was around for ever prior to the 30's. AIDS is still young compared to polio. Also any disease that involved something bad in the blood is extremely more difficult to deal with than non blood.
I'm saying you'd be less likley to get it. and of course less likley to spread it.

Or it's a brilliant coo.
you're treading into conspiracy theory water. this whole idea that pharmaceutical companies are holding back a cure to anything is beyond ridiculous. any company that comes out and cures fucking AIDS will be seen as saviors to humanity and will have good press for multiple generations. not to mention that a treatment is hard to get behind but a cure would entice world governments and numerous charity organizations to pay for the production of the medicine necessary to cure tens of millions of peoplethink of how much the pharma companies are pocketing from government incentives to find a cure by all of the countries in the world, and the "solution" they have come up with is a terribly expensive medicine that prolongs life if you maintain taking it. And best of all there are studies that say if you take it BEFORE you are infected, you are less likely to get infected, making the very expensive medication available to those who aren't even infected and making money from them, too.
Looking grimly at it, this just plays into the pharma's hands. It doesn't pay pharma companies to have a cure. they cant' make money when you aren't sick.
HIV was detected in 1969. With far more scientists looking at solutions, it's taken LONGER than polio to come up with a solution. And that solution isn't even a vaccine but something that delays the inevitable. And a vaccine was synthesized in the 50's. By the 70's it was eradicated from NA. a couple decades is quite quick actually.
Agreed, though, something with blood issues will take more time. Of course polio was a blood-based virus, too.
HIV scares the living shit out of me.
