- gab00n, on 10/11/2007, -4/+369That title is so misleading.
- ZippidyDoo, on 10/11/2007, -5/+305From Monday, Dec. 06, 1993 By ANDREW PURVIS/NAIROBI - Did we just hit a time warp?
- jdissonant, on 10/11/2007, -3/+170fast forward 14 years, that 'discovery' didn't help ***** :(
- enalios, on 10/11/2007, -4/+155misleading title... but GREAT article
- happyboyruss, on 10/11/2007, -8/+154Burried as a 14 year old article.
- CatsAreGods, on 10/11/2007, -1/+113She's still alive, still free of AIDS, still hooking, and there's still no picture of her (which is probably just as well). See an article only a month old at http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,2087394,00.html
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -51/+158They have the cure, there's just no money in selling the CURE to a disease. The treatment, now thats where you get your bank. My plan for curing AIDs is to infect myself with the disease and then have sex with every congress member's daughter and film each and every encounter. Then, present it to the media. If they're all miraculously cured, you have your answer, if they aren't, I'm sure that cure will be coming along mighty quick.
- zephyrTR, on 10/11/2007, -2/+84Astounding. I really hope they come up with something useful and I honestly believe they will.
- krinn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+76Here is a more recent article. She is still alive, and still doesn't have aids.
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,2087394,00.html - orangekid13, on 10/11/2007, -2/+69bet it's more than 25 cents now...
- Erfman, on 10/11/2007, -4/+67OK, here's the truly sick thing. Drug companies and scientists are researching this women but according to that Observer article from last month she is still a prostitute, you'd think these ***** could throw a few bucks her way so the old bag would have to be a cum dump anymore.
- DapperScoo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+56Yeah, the article says that these women have suffered from syphilis and gonorrhea. That's not so clean and pure.
- dave1233345, on 10/11/2007, -3/+57number 2 prostitute in all of kazakhstan
- iamyak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+44AIDS - 1, scientists - 0
- epiploce, on 10/11/2007, -9/+44http://i11.tinypic.com/5xj2om8.jpg
- pinguz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34I, for one, welcome our AIDS-resistant overhoes
oh well... *floods ballast tanks* - yensed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+27I would be interested in a follow up article.
- ubhe, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22this lady is a true fighter, hope she lives into old age. and find some sort of relief from her hard life.
- Dundasbro, on 10/11/2007, -8/+28You're a monster.
- betacmag4u, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Wish I could Paypal her a few bucks to help her out......
- DocHoliday22, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19I thought I was about to read a Paris Hilton article....
- Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18The most Awesomest monster I've ever seen on Digg! :D
- peabody624, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Holy ***** she is 56 now
- cyranthus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16for .25 cents a pop and AIDS free...
ide hit it. - Beaver6813, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12I love the explanation Mr Burns was given, "You're infected with so many of these virus's that they can't all squeeze in through the door!"
- fwedwic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12i never wanted to agree with you more, but sadly money turns the wheel in this world. and u can bet almost every action (wars, laws, cures, politics) has a financial agenda somewhere buried inside, fact is that most of the time its not publicized and or covered up with something else, something people would want to believe in. So when actions are taken solely from human morality its really quite miraculous. Its somewhat of a depressive outlook, but I honestly believe it. I think that we could all use a reality check sometimes and thus I recommend this 3.5 hr documentary; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936&q=the+money+masters&total=1052&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1
I think everyone should see it at least once in their lifetime.
- Good day ;) - danlovejoy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10She has sex with 10 men a day, lives in a shack, and her children are starving. And you begrudge her her faith? However theologically flawed her approach, what business is it of yours?
- Novagenesis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13The introduction of the antibiotic happened before Big Pharma got as corrupt as they are now.
Do you remember the whole issue with Meningitis in '97 or '98 where Pharmaceutical companies were skyrocketing the price of the one Antibiotic that has consistent results?
Sorry, no. The cure for AIDS will make a few million dollars. AIDS treatments is a hundred million dollar industry or more. I don't even blame Big Pharma. They're a business. No business gives up repeating revenue for one-time revenue, ESPECIALLY when they're strictly forbidden to price-fix. - ghostgamer, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15burried -> 1993 ...
- TrAvELAr, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14I bet if she stopped having sex she'd stop having kids.... more kids means she has to work harder each day.
- shortarabguy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Your argument would be more compelling if you knew about this story for the past 14 years.
Or even the past 3 weeks, for that matter... - Philluminati, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14They have the cure, there's just no money in selling the CURE to a disease
So what????? If your a decent human being or your daughter has it or your a government and 90% of your prostitutes and infected - those are OTHER reasons to cure it or pay money for someone else to cure it. It's not always about money it's about humanity. - starblazer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8For anyone that want to paypal her a few bucks, maybe contacting the researcher that knows her will be able to get something going.
AIDS Vaccine Research in Kenya : http://www.globalgiving.com/pr/600/proj536p.html - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9The most disturbing part of the story isn't that she gets 25 cents a screw...
"Hey kids, go out in the yard, mommy's gotta screw on your bed. Nevermind the crabs." - The_Wallbanger, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Maybe her story will be a modern example of natural selection and the theory of evolution?
- SteelChicken, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Dugg down for 15 year old article and for a stupid title
- tnvwboy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8So why wasn't THIS article submitted?
- themoose, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,2087394,00.html
- DIAF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7If you read the follow up article many have linked :http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,2087394,00.html
you will see that if she stops her constant exposure to hiv, her immune defenses will stop producing such a high level of T cells to combat it, and her immunity will go away. - ldkronos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6That doesn't help *her*. She's already immune.
- mikal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Great find, and even when not considering the date published, a much better article.
- caesar0801, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7read the observer article:
"The price is set at between 50 and 100 shillings - 37p to 75p" that's between 0,74 and 1,5 USD... not exactly a fortune... - arjung, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Wait, did they ever publish the results in a journal? 20 years of ho research should be enough, right?
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5coincidence != irony
- dacjames, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6This line of reasoning makes absolutely no sense for a couple of reasons. One, there would be huge amounts of money in an AIDS cure--imagine having the patent on a drug that's about to be administered to hundreds of millions, probably billions of people. Any company that invented such a substance would be looking at profit in the high billions very quickly.
Second, most of the AIDS research occurs at Universities where money plays a much lesser role. Academia revolves around either prestige in the worst case or a honest desire for knowledge and progress in the best. Either way, discovering an AIDS 'cure' would greatly motivate both researchers and their students. In the academic world something like this couldn't be hidden.
Third, I simply cannot believe that something as significant as an AIDS 'cure' could be hidden even if the motivation existed. What you're honestly proposing is that congress signed a bill to provide billions of dollars in aid to Africa while fully aware that the same aid could be offered for a few hundred million (vaccines are much cheaper than treatment)? Clearly this is madness. So if not congress, who? In the era where secrets leak across the internet instantly, such a cover-up would be nigh on impossible and certainly incredibly expensive, further outweighing the perceived monetary benefit.
A cure for AIDS does not currently exist and may never exist. I know everyone wants to blame someone because we struggle to believe that AIDS remains an unsolved problem. Researchers need support not ignorance. - shamam, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yes, I'm sure one day they said "shall I have a career as a web developer? Perhaps a lawyer? Or a prostitute?", and chose prostitute. Right after they graduated from their local Ivy.
- kilodelta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6dugg up from the past, huh?
- xdcds, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Sorry, I submitted the story after reading about her from a different source and doing a google search on her name... I knew she was still alive and still free from AIDS, I just couldnt find the most recent story in English. Here it is. : http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,2087394,00.html ... Thanks krinn
- harlowsmonkeys, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Take your own advice and read the damned follow-up article again. Stopping exposure would not give her AIDS. It would take away her immunity. She would remain AIDS-free as long as she kept from being exposed, just like a "normal" person.
