Man Possibly Cured of HIVFollow

Originally from the Miami Herald.

It isn't something that can be easily duplicated, and the treatment was extremely stressful on the body, but it's a hopeful sign nonetheless. At the very least, it shows that the disease can be cured.

[NOTE: I said possibly in the title for a reason--they have found no sign of the disease (3.5 years later), but that's not to say it is necessarily gone.]

Of course, even if it could be adapted to a suitable, wide-spread treatment, the fact that it uses stem cells would be a huge political hurdle.

Good for you. Now maybe it won't kill you.

No one gives a flying f'uck about OOT, or we would have read it there.

I read about at least a year ago. This is just a confirmation that it's still not there for the few remaining skeptics, I guess.

There are a number of treatments in the works to block the receptor sites for HIV, many as a result of this discovery. Not just stem cell treatments, but drug therapy.
