Okay buddy let me put it this way.
Within the next few decades, a worldwide pandemic not seen since the fucking Black Plague is gonna sweep across this planet. Why? Because diseases are evolving. Many diseases we once believed to be "cured" are now back and immune to our "cures." Sure, we can resort to more powerful medicines for a time, but we're only putting off the inevitable. Eventually, nothing will stop these diseases, and then where are we? Feeling the power of these evolved diseases. Hell, even the common cold would be deadly at that point.
However, I NEVER said HIV/AIDS didn't deserve funding. Like hell they do! But they aren't as pressing right now. Because they can't evolve, and they can only spread in one way.
What I would like to say though, is if we're going to be looking for a way to beat AIDS/HIV, we need to look to a non-medicinal cure. Do what all life is doing around us. Evolving and making themselves immune to the other diseases. More or less, I'm in favor of genetic alteration (which is very different from stem cells and abortion, before some of you all think that's what I'm supporting).
