Q: Idea For Cure.

I know I will probably not be taken seriously, because of my age of 15, but I have an idea. We were studying viruses in biology at my school and a thought occured to me. Why doesn't some viruses accidently go into a cell that already has viruses, I mean it is not like they can tell? Then I thought, what if the virus occupying a cell blocked other viruses from entering? If so then if the cells were already occupied by a harmless virus (like a genetically engineered one) then the aids virus might not be able to spread.

Well, that's not the way it works with retrovirus and hiv progression. It's too complicated to get into the exact science and you should ask such questions to your biology teacher.

I am impressed by your theory, but I know that it is flawed (i know of the scientific findings). Here's my advise. If your're 15 and are thinking about creating a cure, be my guest. You may be the one it is named after. Keep thinking!

No Such Thing As Bad Idea.
Brfpyro14,

i am truly impressed with your thinking...This is the thinking of a great person.

When you have a theory like this, research it further and see if it is even possible...And if not...Perhaps the basic idea of it may be good, and just a few adjustments need be made.

It is my belief that all things are cureable...So don't ever give up.

Peace
