Re: The Cure For HIV Is Not Around the Corner (mentions SGMO & results)
interesting
:.....Bucking the trend of overly effusive reports on cure progress, CNN ran aheadline on its website in July quoting the French virologist Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, PhD, co-discoverer of HIV, who argued that “to develop a cure is almost impossible.”
Headlines are by their nature reductive, certainly because of space constraints, but perhaps more so because journalists’ efforts to lure readers often subvert nuance or specificity in the text. In this case, CNN left many with the dispiriting impression—just as inaccurate as the notion that a cure is around the corner—that Barré-Sinoussi thought all hope was lost. But as the interview clarifies, the Nobel laureate’s claim was more pragmatic than pessimistic, and hinged on her description of the extreme difficulty of eliminating every last HIV-infected cell from the body. (When referring to success in such a feat, many scientists use more specific terminology, calling it a sterilizing cure.) She argued that what she called remission, in which the virus is brought to very low levels and kept there without daily meds, is a more viable goal, one that others call a functional cure. ..."
