Bananas prevent HIV infection
Chemicals found in bananas are better at preventing HIV than two current synthetic anti-HIV drugs, according to new study.

Dear many get this HIV with out proper knowledge. At the age of 58 first time I have been to a girl. I have not any thing other than sucking her breast. She pressed her both the breast and unknowing I was continuing sucking. Serum has gone into my body I am really suffering now. Visit AIDS sites after reading still you feel like going to girls, you go ahead with all protection. God only can save you.
. . . because that's so different from so-called "developed" countries

I think this is just a playful way to distract the world from reality. If this really does work the price of bananas will go up 200% next year. Then the price of the new drug will n ot be so cheap.
Mother nature always has a way of taking care of herself.
there's always money in the banana stand.
Parts of this article ring false. Standard-of-care antiviral therapy for HIV for the past ~15 years has been 3 drugs, not 2 (and never 1 drug alone), so saying that these banana-borne substances are “as potent in preventing HIV as two synthetic anti-HIV drugs” is meaningless and suspect. It’s also nose-wrinkling that those supposed two inferior-to-bananas drugs are not named, either in this posting or the 2 linked articles. That info seems essential to the claim, so what are they hiding?.... More
I would like to advice you to always keep off from naming products of other companies in your articles. It is prudent that the writer of the banana article did not name the so called inferior products. There take what you can understand and leave the other information.
The "two drugs" they're talking about are to prevent HIV infection, not to treat it.
There are a few Chinese medicine antivirals which have been shown clinically to take out HIV. You will never see them marketed this way until someone can patent them. The trouble is the imbalance in immune factors that leads to aids. Yes there is a Chinese medicine formula for that too, however legally I couldn't show research and sell it in the US. So I will simply tell you to look up the public domain recipes for xiao chai hu tang and shi quan da bu tang. I have no interest in selling.... More
looks like big Pharma will have to elimimate Costa Rica and their Banana production...
pounding a banana is worth an ounce of cure

If only Bill Clinton had known. He depended on cigars.
Banana lectin based lubes and enemas.
...now that they can supply big pharmaceutical companies with artificially cheap bananas grown on poisons and blood in Central America.
Lets use this opportunity to build a new banana industry that doesn't exploit, poison, and kill the growers and the land they work on.
So...is the BanLec (capitalized, like a Big Pharma invention) lectin in banana oil? Would using WD-40 as a lube work? That's rough trade, right there!
let your imagination run wild....
Wow..Monkeys are the cause of HIV. Who knew their diet is what helps stop the spread.
Actually, It wasn't really the monkey's fault. It was mans use of the monkeys to create the polio vaccine which caused HIV
Wow. Try getting your information from more than one source born of wild speculation and incomplete evidence. If you look into the claims of Polio being to blame, a lot of things don't add up. 1) the cells used to grow Polio virus are macaque monkey kidney cells and do not support growth or infectivity with HIV or SIV (simian immunodificiency virus), 2) original vials of test vaccine were tested for HIV infection - none found, 3) evidence indicates that HIV has been in human populations....

Replace penis with banana.
That is the best idea I have seen in weeks for a bumper sticker, a punk-bluegrass band name, a pop-psychology book title and an ice cream flavor.
We need HIV/AIDS education. It's very important!! CDC has granted CSU $1.9M for HIV/AIDS education.
The number of members on the largest HIV dating&support site == Positivefish.com (if I spell the site correctly) has reached 500,000 members
OMG! Why so many guys and girls on the site are very sexy? Why so many sexy people are infected by HIV? There is no
doubt that we need SEX-ED
what we need is a hell of a lot better funding options for the school age kids and drop outs. I am HIV+ and have been since i was 23 years old. I was fortunate enough to be educated on the risks but was unfortunate enough not to observe them. While living with HIV is a lot easier now days than it once was it is still a constant struggle. The battle at this point is that even if kids and young adults are educated, we have to assume they would make the right choice when the time came. There.... More
