[quote]Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins University today described the first documented case of a child being cured of HIV. The landmark findings were announced at the 2013 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta, GA.[/quote]So, it looks as though HIV can now be cured in infants. Chalk up another victory on the board for medical science.

What an encouraging story, truly. This is why you provide funding for scientific research. I'm very interested to see how this child's immune system will develop. I certainly hope that this test for HIV after the retroviral treatment was exhaustive. It would be quite unfortunate if it was a false negative.
