Cystic fibrosis is noncommunicable, so in that respect there is no concern. If you want to have children then there is about a 50% chance your kids will have CF, there is genetic screening to determine if your also a carrier, thus raising the chance. CF is most common in white Europeans especially of German descent. With early identification and tratment the outlook for a long life for CF patients is better than ever.

There will be a cure when there are more people with it and there is alot more funding for research. As for now, people are busy trying to find cures for cancer. The numbers of patients with cancer out weigh those with Cystic Fibrosis, therefore Cystic Fibrosis research is given less financial aid. It has to do with numbers. Also waiting on improved technology as always.
Can an Adult get cystic fibrosis?
From what I understand there is no such thing as Adult Onset Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a hereditary genetic disease that you are born with. That said, there are rare cases of people with symptoms so mild they were not diagnosed until there 30s-60s. Sometimes these people have had prior medical problems but their doctors didn't check for CF because of their age. It is often so debilitating that children are diagnosed within the first few days of life. I am not an expert, I am just looking for research because I was told to go in for a test today (at age 33). The hospital couldn't even administer the test in the normal lab, I need to go to the children's hospital. I am just now reading http://www.cff.org/ it has more official information.
