[INFO] Cure for AIDS

[kullatiro]

A shocking development on the battle with AIDS front: a patient from Berlin has been AIDS free for two years after having a bone marrow transplant to cure his leukaemia. This lucky recovery may shed further light on AIDS and bring us one step closer towards a world-wide cure.

...

The strange story of new hope for AIDS patients begins with a 42 year old man living in Berlin who is currently fighting off his leukaemia. As a part of his leukaemia treatments, his haematologist, Dr. Gero Hutter, deliberately replaced the patient's bone marrow cells with those from a donor who has a naturally occurring genetic mutation making his cells immune to almost all strains of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Long ago, researchers discovered that some people remain uninfected despite continuously engaging in unprotected sex with HIV-positive partners. They were found to have a genetic mutation that made them practically immune to HIV. This mutation prevents a molecule called CCR5 from appearing on the cell membrane. In normal people CCR5 functions as a door letting the virus into the cell, because the HIV virus must bind with it to get inside.

sudah beberapa bulan yang lalu nih beritanya.
teorinya sumsum tulang yang kebal ditransplantasikan ke orang yang menderita hiv aids
dan yang sudah ditransplantasikan kemudian bisa menjadi donor di kemudian hari.

mudah-mudahan gak dikomersilin besar-besaran sama kapitalis barat.

[hatRed]

tapi emank betul ya, kalao AIDS dan HIV ini sudah ditemukan "obatnya" ?

[kullatiro]

obat belum ini baru pengobatan pake cara mindahin sumsum tulang belakang yang punya anti atau kebal aids ke orang yang menderita aids jadi sembuh gitu.

Hmm..
Teknologi semakin maju.. tapi transpalantasi sepertinya butuh biaya yang sangat besar.. kalo pasien yg terkena AIDS gak ada duit, tetap gak bisa diobati...
Penemuan baru, maka ada ladang baru untuk memburu uang...

Bisa juga pengobatan AIDS pake obat HAART (Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy) yg terdiri dari NRTI (Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor), NNRTI (Non Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor), dan PI (Protease Inhibitor)
Dengan current recommendation: 2 NRTI plus PI or NNRTI (salah satu) sebagai primary therapy
Contoh NRTI: Zidovudine (AZT), Didanosine (ddl), Zalcitabine (ddC), Lamivudine (3TC), Abacavir, Tenofovir
Contoh NNRTI: Nevirapine, Evafirenz
Ada juga obat yg relative baru yaitu viral fusion inhibitors: Enfuvirtide

muahal kaliiiii

[kullatiro]

ini bukan mahal kali tapi orang yang punya mutasi terhadap aids (ini jadi kebal atau imune saja dah langkanya bukan main), dan satu orang punya sumsum tulang belakang memang bisa ngobatin berapa banyak orang yang kena aids?

Di takut kan adalah pasar gelap organ tentunya permintaan susmsum tulang belakang orang yang kebal aids ini akan menjadi perburuan bagi mereka.

info ini bole di follow up ke Buddha Tzu Chi. soalnya Buddha Tzu Chi satu2nya di dunia yg punya bank sum2 tulang belakang (CMIIW).

who knows, Buddha Tzu Chi menjadi pelopor penyembuhan AIDS di dunia melalui transplantasi sum2 tulang belakang
