Now this is a much more important article and post then my bikini one. China has successfully passed stage one of a three stage cure for HIV AIDs. Other countries and groups have also gotten to the second stage of testing but none of passed the third stage which would mean a real cure of this modern day black Plague. The method China is using to find a cure is looking promising because it is piggybacking off of the smallpox cure that was discovered in the 1970s.

I think it's a great thing that China, such a large country with a gigantic population, has made a large step towards finding a cure for HIV. The fact that it is a vaccine idea is a much more effective method to prevent HIV, in my opinion, because it is a disease that has devastating consequences and no symptoms if contracted. China is working a prevention method rather than a fixing method, which is what seems to work best.
