    could have been an initial false positive and all along he was truly uninfected. false positives are even possible in "respectable, modern" testing facilities.

    "The Healthcare Trust said he needs to come back for further tests so they can find out exactly what happened."


    even they are calling bullshit.

    Different story.. in this one it may have been a MARROW TRANSPLANT that cured his aids


    "Dr. Gero Huetter said his 42-year-old patient, an American living in Berlin who was not identified, had been infected with the AIDS virus for more than a decade. But 20 months after undergoing a transplant of genetically selected bone marrow, he no longer shows signs of carrying the virus."

    Think about how much irresponsible fucking you could do if they cured most/all STDs...

    I bet more than a few people from this board would pull a Freddie Mercury, and start sucking all the dicks they could get a hold of.

    The bone marrow donor had a very rare immunity to Aids. Seeing as there is apparently a 30% mortality rate in having a marrow transplant, it isn't really going to become a widespread AIDS treatment, and also it is not going to be wonderfully easy to find donors with the immunity in the first place, but it opens up some new avenues of research at least.

    true.even my mom,who was a surgeon back in boston,said the same thing when she read the article.however,the thought that a person is cured of aids is enough hope for the aids community in general to keep their hope alive and strong.i hope he does have the cure or antibody/antigen for aids.

    good find none the less
