Since some of the WU is looking into HIV then you might see this as in interesting news:

Well...It's something but we need to do better than that.(keep on folding) I mean a possible cure that can kill you faster than inital disease isn't my idea of "cure". Interesting though,thanks for sharing.Cheers

This seems very similar to news from 2012: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/27 ... g-20120727 and http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/news/2012 ... conference

HIV is one of those high-value targets that it's a big deal if any progress is made on taking care of them. Many times you'll see news articles pick up on promising discoveries, and find someone who can claim that they have found the cure, but never seems to get to the actual cure in reality. I'm not implying that this one won't, but one has to be careful about such claims. It certainly is promising, and it may or may not be the solution. When we see it being offered in the hospital or some other cure drug distributed as a vaccine or something, then we'll know we have a cure. Scientific discoveries, whether big or small, certainly do accelerate the search for a cure. It's hard to know which one will lead to it until we're actually there and can look back.
