The up-rise of Ebola is still the major concern patterning human health. But, the creditor of the world most killer disease still goes to HIV/AIDS based on its' killing estimation as prescribed by WHO. This is just the rating by WHO on HIV/AIDS . "the number of people living with HIV each year hit 10 million in 1991,
20 million in 1996, 30 million in 2002, sat at 35 million in 2012, including 3.2 million children who are
less than 15 years old. WHO estimated another 2.1 million people
worldwide became infected with the disease in 2013". So, this is an indication that the disease is still on the increase.
But, it seems a good thing is about to happen as researchers are heading towards finding a solution.
Did these researchers find a cure?
According to a recently released study from The Scripps Research Institute's Florida campus, its research has led to the creation of a drug vaccine candidate capable of halting the spread of HIV/AIDS. Not only did it stop the spread of the most common variant of the disease, HIV-1, but it also worked against HIV-2 and simian immunodeficiency virus, or SIV. It also offered protection over an extremely long period of time and against high dose levels of the disease, suggesting it could be a long-term solution.
So far, this drug have been tested on monkeys alone and it worked, researchers said they have confident that it will give the same positive result to human. Chances are that AIDS patients are going to see the positive end to HIV within few year.
