I found the project very good. There are many people interested in the project including me.

That you very much for your support as well. This is a new way of funding AIDS research. In fact, it can be said that with this project we are also decentralizing the way AIDS research is funded. This project is supported by the collectivity with the aim of solving a global issue for the collectivity. Accordingly, it is possible to support the development of a low cost AIDS cure solution, that would otherwise never see the light of day as it would hurt badly the business of all pharmaceutical corporations selling expensive HIV drugs, which aim to make as much profit as possible off of AIDS.

As you can see our competitors in the industry aim to develop incredibly expensive HIV gene based treatments that will only be affordable by the richest part of the global population. By contrast, we belive that a real cure is something that should be affordable even in low income countries. Because although we are a for profit company, we also have a coscience. And thanks to your support and our work, developing a low cost AIDS cure solution could finally be something possible.
