I used to work for a multinational pharmaceutical comapny
manufacturing HIV drugs, that is drugs that lessened the effects of the symptoms rather than an actual cure, obviously.

Well I say obviously, maybe not. It was brought to my attention a while back by a self appointed genius that mankind HAS actually found a cure for the disease, but 'they' as in the 'world government' and 'pharmaceutical giants that keep making up new flus' won't release it because HIV and AIDS is a good way of killing blacks and gays. Also if they took the cure, it would only be one injection, whereas the current system has them as repeat customers and the government gets more money that way.

Also bird flu is the same as swine flu, but with some DNA 'switched about' to keep us buying medicines.

I think he had come down with 'twat flu'

I don't believe any of these conspiracy theories
But there is no doubt in my mind that pharmaceutical companies are dodgy fuckers.

There is a cure for bird flu?
I thought that it was un-tweetable.

I was late for work this morning
I told my boss I had "Wine Flu".

Kudos for "Twat Flu" - I shall be using that one

There is
a cure for HIV; it was published in the UK papers a few months ago.
It was also published that it's prohibitively expensive and not without risk itself - it involves bone-marrow transplants along with other things that I can't remember.
It was something to do with the fact that on average 1% of the population is immune and it involves synthesising some gene or other.

It's a selective cure.
It involves receiving a bone marrow transplant from someone with a genetic immunity to HIV. It's hugely expensive, it's painful, and no-one in sub-Saharan Africa is going to see hide nor hair of it.
