cure for AIDS discovered

[IbnAbdulHakim]

You can get HIV through blood transfusions too, though.

are blood transfusions and such things halal? I have no basis to think its haram but seeing as that disease can be caught via blood transfusion it leaves me to wonder why?

^ Was about to say the same thing.

But then, those people who donated the blood wouldn't have had the virus in their blood if they weren't doing something funny would they?

So I guess it just goes back to the original principle :giggling:

But there are cures for AIDS there most definitely are.......it doesn't even have to be these fancy drugs, in fact drugs bring more harm than benefit to the body anyway. What about the hadeeth in which Rasulullah said that blackseed is a cure for every illness? I wonder if that's ever been tried? :?

Not really. A patient who has had a blood transfusion may not have been up to any 'funny business', but they could end up with HIV all the same.

are blood transfusions and such things halal?

I assume so, but I could be mistaken. I hope they're halal, just in case they're key to saving my life one day.

Iqra (or 'read', depending on your language of choice )

^ You misunderstand me brother. What I meant was, the person who is receiving this blood transfusion right now might get AIDS because the person who donated this blood had the virus in their blood right? And the reason they have this virus in their blood (the donater) is because he was up to funny business. Isn't that possible? Wait....but all the blood is screened first right :?

 

[Muezzin]

That's very possible. I just think we should all think twice before stigmatizing people with HIV. You never know what kind of tests Allah has in store for us.

very possible, and i had come to the same conclusion to be honest.

:salamext:

this reminded me of what sheikh feiz said and i quote:

"why are people always searching for a cure to this disease, why are they spending millions and millions when the cause is known?You shtupid people, the cure to this disease is to obey the command of Allaah swt and not have sex outside of marriage. Take the example of suleiman AS who had 99 wives and no aids !"

good stuff

But what happens if the wife has AIDS?

 

[Muezzin]

But what happens if the wife has AIDS?

From HIV from a blood transfusion, before anyone begins slandering this hypothetical female spouse.

There have been so-called, might, possible, or maybe cures for AIDS since back in the late 70s. The first posting say's on this thread say's "a Possible". I read this online today, and it's dated with todays date.

Govt, business to fast-track cure for Aids

December 12, 2006, 14:45

Government and business today launched a state-of-the art supercomputer to fast track the process of finding a cure for some of the country's most serious illnesses such as HIV/Aids, malaria and tuberculosis.

Derek Hanekom, the deputy minister of science and technology, together with Craig Barrett, the chairperson of Intel Cooperation, "switched-on" the super computer at the CSIR in Pretoria. Hanekom says the donation of the super computer will go a long way to complement the efforts by government to provide a world class research infrastructure to researchers.

There are many other so-called cures for AIDS online.. Just Google the words "cure for aids". Over 3 million sites pop up with some sort of relevance of the cure for AIDS.... I wouldn't care "who" found the AIDS cure, just as long as it's a found cure....

Take care.... eace:

What's so amazing about HIV, is anyone can get aids and people don't have to have intercourse with a person to get it.
Estimated per act risk for acquisition of HIV by exposure route. Exposure Route Estimated infections per 10,000 exposures to an infected source. Known as: "Human Immunodeficiency Virus" (HIV).

"CHECK THIS OUT"
Blood Transfusion 9,000
Childbirth 2,500
Needle-sharing injection drug use 67
Receptive anal intercourse* 50
Percutaneous needle stick 30
Receptive penile-vaginal intercourse* 10
Insertive anal intercourse* 6.5
Insertive penile-vaginal intercourse* 5
Receptive oral intercourse* 1 §
Insertive oral intercourse* 0.5 §
{*} assuming no condom use
{§} Source refers to oral intercourse performed on a man.

Blood Transfusions are the number 1 killer of Aids.

Receptive penile-vaginal intercourse comes in on number 8 out of 10 ways to contact Aids.

Just trying to give my 2 cents, whatever that's worth now days....

I think you may be misreading these statistics.

What the figures are saying is that the likelyhood of infection is greatest through blood transfusion (i.e. out of 10.000 infected blood transfusions 9.000 lead to infection of the person)
Via penile-vagial intercourse the immediate risk is much less (i.e. out of 10.000 occasions of intercourse with an infected partner 10 lead to infection of the person)

But that does not mean overall that blood transfusions are the number 1 killer for AIDS.

Your article also states this:

The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations between partners, one of whom has HIV.

Hence the number 1 killer is unprotected sex!
