Well according to Dr. Keller MP1 is not as stringent compliance as most HIV/AIDS meds, missing a dose is not really a problem.  MP1 is also just one capsule four times a day.  We are working on making it a BID or once Daily dose.  But I have to admit I've gotten to the point that I don't think my HIV research will continue due too lack of funding.  Every charity I've written has denied my requests for funding.  Even our own community seems unwilling to help.  I have sent 1897 e-mails and all have been denied.  Bellow I have included copied of the responded to the few Charities that were goodly enough to even write me back.  I really wonder if the world wants a cure to be found.  If you like please feel free to contact Dr. Keller directly.

 

      In regard to your request for funding, I can only repeat that Lilly weighs a number of       factors in all of our funding decisions, because every decision may save or improve lives,      but also uses resources that may be essential for other ongoing projects that have similar     hopes.  Considering our resources and research priorities, we are not currently in a     position to fund your research.

      Your e-mail to our executive director was forwarded to me. Although you

      don't come out and make a funding request, I assume that is what you

      were seeking. I'm sorry to let you know that our HIV funding guidelines

      specifically exclude biomedical research. We concentrate our limited HIV

      funding to prevention within the behavioral change models and national

      advocacy.

                                          Again, good job.

      Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS is a fundraising program of Broadway       Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and we therefore distribute the funds we raise through their       grantmaking process.  This process (and our mission) is focused primarily on funding AIDS       organizations that provide direct services to those living with HIV/AIDS.  Projects       typically funded include those providing case management, food, housing, transportation,       emergency financial assistance, emotional support and non-reimbursable and emergency

      medical expenses. In some cases, BC/EFA will also fund advocacy organizations whose public      policy work has a direct effect on the scores of AIDS service organizations we assist.     BC/EFA does not fund publications, travel or registration for conferences, reimbursable or   ongoing medical expenses, capital investment, educational services or medical research.

      Unfortunately, we are not in a position to fund your research, but we wish you the best in    your endeavour.

      Thank you for your note and the information on your research.  Unfortunately we are not a       foundation and thus cannot be helpful to you.  I might suggest looking at the Foundation       Center's publication on funders of HIV/AIDs for potential foundations to fund your work.

      Thank you for contacting the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We fully concur with your       selection of HIV/AIDS research as a priority in efforts to improve the health of       populations in developing countries.  The Foundation has made a major commitment to       investing in this area through support to a variety of activities ranging from HIV vaccine     development to youth prevention activities.  In addition to the Foundation's investments in    these existing initiatives, we are in the process of evaluating our HIV/AIDS strategy so       that we make sure our efforts keep pace with an ever evolving epidemic.  We expect to   complete this process soon, but in the meantime will not be making new   commitments in    this area.  Therefore, the Foundation is unable to fund the proposed program.

      I just wanted to personally thank you for your endeavors.  Your mail to UNAIDS has been       forwarded to me for a reply. I regret to have to inform you that UNAIDS is not set up to do    or to support research, for more information about UNAIDS please visit our homepage at       www.unaids.org. I therefore have forwarded your request to colleagues at the WHO.  To be       honest I don't believe American AIDS charities really want a cure for this disease to be       found.  But I again wanted to solemnly and wholeheartedly thank you for your time,       consideration, and help in this fight.

What you have read is just a small list of the litterly thousands of rejections that I have recieved in request for grant monies in the past month.  But I honestly think that Calle Almedal of UNAIDS summed it up best, "I don't believe American AIDS charities really want a cure..."  If you like I can forward a copy of research and resume for your consideration and review.
