What would take place to me if i found a heal for HIV/AIDS?

Here is what you would do (from an individual in cancer research):

1. Go to college and study molecular biology/virology/biochemistry/or pre-med.
2. Go on to get a Ph.D. (which would be even more specialized towards your desired research). If you want to work with humane diseases, it is also helpful to get a medical degree at the same time (its called an M.D./Ph.D. program and is available at a heap of universities).
3. The salary varies primarily for researches. If you get an M.D./Ph.D., you would be making ~$120k per year after the basi couple of years. For just a Ph.D., it would be a bit lower (~$80k per year). This depends a lot on where you work, what type of occupation you get, how some grants you get for research, etc. And, it will go up with experience. Unfortunately, from the time you begin college until the time you are making this amount of money, it is in all likelihood 10-12 years.
4. If you were to discover the cure: If you worked for the government or university, then the conclusions would be "public" and you wouldn't get much as far as cash is concerned. If you worked for a private company, then the company would own the rights to the cure. . . and you might get a nice bonus. . . but it wouldn't make you rich. There would be acknowledgement and wonderment amongst your peers, and you would surely get a more spectacular salary and a large total of occupation offers. . . but if you are wanting to do it, in all likelihood best to be motivated by a desire to support mankind and not by money.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Epstein, a public health specialist and molecular biologist who has worked on AIDS vaccine research, overturns some of our received notions in regards to why AIDS is rampant in Africa and what to do in regards to it. She charges that Western governments and philanthropists, even though well-meaning, have been totally misguided, and that Africans themselves, who perceive their own cultures, ofttimes know best how to address HIV in their communities. Most substantial is Epstein's discussion of concurrent sexual relations in Africa. Africans often times engage in two or three long-term concurrent relationships—which proves more conducive to the disseminate of AIDS than Western-style promiscuity. Persuade Africans to forgo concurrency for monogamy, and the infection rate plummets, as it did in Uganda in the mid-1990s. On the other hand, ad campaigns focalized on condom use helped infer falsely that only prostitutes and truck drivers get AIDS. In addition, Epstein examines what she calls the "African earthquake": social and economic upheaval that have likewise eased the disseminate of HIV. Epstein is a lucid writer, translating abstruse scientific conceptions into language nonspecialists may without apparent effort grasp. Provocative, enthusiasti and incisive, this may be the most indispensable book on AIDS published this year—indeed, it may even save lives. (May)

From Booklist
Some countries in Africa report that approximately one-third of their adult populations are infected with HIV. Epstein wondered how such a state of affairs came about. Seeking answers, she contracted with a biotechnical company to go to Africa and work toward discovering an AIDS vaccine. What she subsequently learned exploded a heap of preconceived and widely shared notions with regards to AIDS, when it comes to how African culture all but ensures it is spread, and regarding what might be a deceptively simple answer to the complex question of how to stem that spread. Her absorbing report reveals governmental inefficiencies and medical bureaucracies and social structures that have done not one thing to slow the epidemic's pace—and may be accelerating it. Besides the epidemic's social and medical aspects, she discusses the business of AIDS, and she examines the mystery of how the HIV infection rate dropped galore 70 percent between 1992 and 1997 in Uganda and the Kagera region of Tanzania; she believes that the invisible heal involved in that plunge provides clues to resolving the issue of AIDS in Africa generally.

Review

"An enlightening and troubling book."--The New York Times

"Helen Epstein is one of a rare species: the scientist turned storyteller. . . . [A] blunt, informed critique."--Salon.com

"The UN and President Bush must not just read Epstein's book, they will have to disseminate it around Africa."--The Sunday Times (London)

"Elegant prose, a scientific background, and a journalist's searching anecdotal eye."--Nature

"Sometimes a bolt of clarity shoots out of the blue . . . as it will for readers of this book who yearn for perceptivenesses on how a deadly virus now infects an approximated 25 million Africans and has killed untold millions more."--The New York Times Book Review

"Epstein has a compelling thesis, and she explains it in lucid, from time to time extraordinary prose."--The Nation

A New York Times Notable Book of 2007

The Invisible Cure is an account of Africa's AIDS epidemic from the inside--a revelatory dispatch from the intersection of village life, government intervention, and global aid. Helen Epstein left her occupation in the US in 1993 to move to Uganda, where she begun work on a test vaccine for HIV. Once there, she met patients, doctors, politicians, and support workers, and begun exploring the problem of AIDS in Africa through the lenses of medicine, politics, economics, and sociology. Amid the catastrophic failure to reverse the epidemic, she came upon a village-based solution that could prove more effective than any network of government intervention and international aid, an intuitive response that calls into question numerous of the rudimentary assumptions in regards to the AIDS in Africa.

Written with conviction, knowledge, and insight, The Invisible Cure will change how we think with regards to the worst health crisis of the past century--and without doubt with regards to each issue of international public health.

An important contribution to addressing this ongoing tragedy
By John Bergren
I'm an American doctor working in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. I can attest to the substance of much of the material presented in this book and the importance of its message, specifically that norms of sexual behavior in this culture need to be discussed and changed for prevention efforts to begin to be effective. As the author aptly discusses, numerous aid organizations, flush with good intentions and funds, seem to operate on the periphery of this central issue. One of the most disturbing lessons of my time in the midst of this horrible tragedy is the realization that the stigma attached to this disease in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa remains so severe that many people prefer to die than to find out that they have AIDS, a point the author seems to get across through with many informative anecdotes. The fundamental thesis is that we need to begin to engage the leaders within these societies at a fundamental cultural level regarding relationships and sexual behavior. No small task. I would highly recommend this book as the first read for someone trying to understand why AIDS is so unbelievably prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. As of today, for every person we enroll in antiretroviral treatment in rural KwaZulu-Natal, five will be newly infected. It's very depressing to see so many people dying from a preventable disease--1,000 people die of it every day in South Africa alone.

hiv prevention: now and how
By Daniel B. Clendenin
"As a woman living with HIV," says Beatrice Were of Uganda, "I am often asked whether there will ever be a cure for HIV/AIDS, and my answer is that there is already a cure. It lies in the strength of women, families and communities who support and empower each other to break the silence around AIDS and take control of their sexual lives." With a vaccine against HIV far off in the distant future (if at all), and with treatment of AIDS in the two-thirds world difficult, expensive, and limited in effect, the name of the game in HIV-AIDS is prevention. But in places like Africa, which is the focus of Helen Epstein's book, prevention is not as simple as it sounds. As she notes in her appendix, measles, syphilis, tuberculosis, and other entirely preventable diseases still kill millions of people even though they can be treated for pennies.

Why has HIV-AIDS ravaged eastern and southern Africa like no place on earth? "In 2005," she writes, "roughly 40 percent of all those infected with HIV lived in just eleven countries in this region-- home to less than 3 percent of the world's population." In some of these countries the infection rates have hit 30 percent, decimating the general population, while in the west, for example, rates hover at about 1% and are generally limited to specific demographics like gay men, intravenous drug users, and commercial sex workers." Theories abound about this discrepancy, but Epstein argues a narrow point, that Africa's problem is not profound promiscuity, or even the normal culprits of high risk groups like prostitutes or truck drivers, but instead a social phenomenon of "concurrent partners." That is, Africans do not have more sexual partners than in other places in the world, and nowhere near as many as gay men among whom infection rates are exponentially lower; but they do have a small number of sexual partners concurrently, at the same time, rather than one at a time or sequentially. This has set the virus loose among the general population like a runaway train.

And why has prevention been so elusive? Epstein appeals to what she calls the comprehensive "social ecology" of denial, silence, shame, adverse gender roles, and stigma about HIV-AIDS. Western-initiated and donor-funded programs will always be less successful than listening to Africans themselves and their own suggestions about how to address the problem. Uganda, of course, has been the amazing success story in this regard, and the subject of bitter debates about why. In 1989 Uganda had one of the highest infection rates in the world, but from about 1992-2002 the infection rate dropped by two-thirds. The key to the success, argues Epstein, was not in the billions of dollars from the west, but from the "collective efficacy" of a "shared calamity," by people helping each other and talking openly about the scourge. In particular, "partner reduction," she says, and not the much vaunted condom use, helped Ugandans to address the cultural phenomenon of concurrent partners. Partner reduction, as one worker described it, is thus the "neglected middle child of the ABC approach" of abstinence, fidelity ("be faithful"), and condoms. Zero Grazing, as Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni called for, is thus the silent cure already available, however valuable other prescriptions.

Epstein, a molecular biologist who has written widely on public health issues, combines rigorous science and the anecdotal evidence of substantial field research. She's clearly as comfortable with and interested in meeting with a dozen African widows under a mango tree as she is in the latest results of a demographic study. Her book has received strong reviews in the New York Times and the New York Review of Books (where her mother was a co-editor before she died), and also a rebuttal of sorts on the home page of UNAIDS that was provoked by her somewhat conspiratorial stance toward research that she argues they ignored because it didn't fit their partisan ideology.

A vital and important book
By Ben Sonnenberg
How rare it is to come upon an author like Helen Epstein. She not only knows her subject, with its numberless scientific and political implications; she also writes about it in a way that makes a common reader want to know more and more. She educates, she invigorates, she breaks our hearts. This is a vital and important book. -- Ben Sonnenberg, New York City
