Awesome. Time to go get HIV.

That's good news, now getting HIV is worth it.

Hmmm, great.........

M'okay...

But wait ! That's mean that if we get HIV and find a cure, are getting leukemia again ?

That gets at least a "heh".

I'm on the fence if it's worth a 4 year bump.

Humm... I think I'll wait for the next cure myself

Doctor: "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news."

Patient: "What's the good news?"

Doctor: "You no longer have leukaemia."

It's isn't true.

A cure is never intentionally making someone sick indefinitely.

Yes it is. Given this information, researchers could likely create a version of HIV that is essentially harmless and prevents leukaemia

@decaf_wizard: it is an immunodeficiency virus, it is like saying chemotherapy is a cure for cancer. There is no strand of HIV that would work without sideffects and it wouldn't be side effects present during the effects of pills taken but indefinitely. That is not a cure, it would essentially cause someone to have a reduced immune defense system forever.

That's not true
