How do I check the current level of progress, if that capability is even available?

Project updates are posted on the project site: http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu
The last report was Phase 2 is 4% complete. |

Right now we have processed about 3,000 years of Phase 2. From the amount of data that Phase 2 is expected to process my best guess is that it will take somewhere between 12,000 and 13,000 years of processing to complete. At 14,400 years it was announced that Phase 1b was completed and Phase 2 has started. At this time we should be at almost 25% complete at 17,400 years. At the present rate of processing completion should occur sometime in either late August or September.

Good catch, workel!
Yes, I just checked and the FAAH site has been updated from 4% to 15%. There must be a lot of work to be done on the Top Hits from Phase 1B. Lawrence |

Yes, there must be quite a few Top Hits from Phase 1. Previously the FAAH scientists only specifically mentioned one molecule as a Top Hit so I guess there are many more. This was the only truely unknown in making an estimation on how long it would take to complete Phase 2. Phase 1a is similar to processing the Top Hits in Phase 2 so if they have 1,900 Top Hits similar to the number of molecules in Phase 1a it could take almost 9,700 years of processing to just do the Top Hits, but the exact number of Top Hits is still unknown.
----------------------------------------Regardless, using the processing times of Phases 1a and 1b as a guide I still estimate it will take about 10,200 to 10,300 years to process ChemBridge (500,000) vs. Wild Type HIV Protease (1) and about 720 years to process NCI Diversity Set (1,900) vs. Monomeric HIV Protease (20). Thus, the total estimate of processing time for Phase 2 is about 11,000 years plus whatever time is necessary to process the Top Hits.

It's nice to see progress.
Soon HIV will just be a bad memory just like smallpox.  |

Eternal optimism is required to think, that HIV will be eradicated! First things first is, finding ways to stop the virus replicating destroying the human resistance to common bugs turning the infection into full blown AIDS.....innoculation will be many years away, if at all.
----------------------------------------....long as there are 'BringBackFreeLove's, suggesting unprotected promiscuous love (the Vatican also continuing the prohibition of profilactics), it only needs one to go unnoticed to keep this bug going. As it has such a long incubation time opposed to smallpocks, it will go unnoticed, thus i feel that it will forever be with humanity. Until then, lets crunch and hope there is this "Howard Christman" that finds the cure.

I expect that by the end of this century our technology will have improved to the point that eliminating almost any lethal infectious disease will seem to be a problem of political will rather than a technical problem. It's just hard to retain an optimistic view while we are slogging through the mud and confusion. But we are making progress, however slowly.

To get a good general idea of what medical science will be like 100 years from now, in 2106, is to look at the progress made in medical science from 1906 to 2006. Many new cures and treatments have been developed, but many cures and treatments are still needed. 100 years from now most likely the same situation will exist. Many new cures and treatments will be available but some problems will yet to be solved. Only until 2106 will it be known what exactly these new cures and treatments are.
