 For how many years of searching for cure, they consider that they are still far from the solution. But with in the years that they are looking for an answer, they have developed a realistic plan, which can be the right approach in killing the virus.

 With the help they get from each other and outside sources, there is a greater chance of discovering the right drug or approaches to end this problem. According to Dr. Margolis, head of HIV-cure research collaboration with academic institutions that they will develop and test the component together and it is clear for them how to execute the process properly. They will not just settle on the test and studies done before. Instead, they will find another way to do it.

In 2013, statistic shows that there are 35 million people around the world who got HIV and another 1.5 million who died of AIDS-related caused, based on the Joint United Program on HIV/AIDS.
