H.I.V. Is Reported Cured in a Second Patient, a Milestone in the Global AIDS Epidemic
Scientists have long tried to duplicate the procedure that led to the first long-term remission 12 years ago. With the so-called London patient, they seem to have succeeded.

For just the second time since the global epidemic began, a patient appears to have been cured of infection with H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS.

The news comes nearly 12 years to the day after the first patient known to be cured, a feat that researchers have long tried, and failed, to duplicate. The surprise success now confirms that a cure for H.I.V. infection is possible, if difficult, researchers said.

The investigators are to publish their report on Tuesday in the journal Nature and to present some of the details at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Seattle.

Publicly, the scientists are describing the case as a long-term remission. In interviews, most experts are calling it a cure, with the caveat that it is hard to know how to define the word when there are only two known instances.
Dr. Wensing is co-leader of IciStem, a consortium of European scientists studying stem cell transplants to treat H.I.V. infection. The consortium is supported by AMFAR, the American AIDS research organization.

The new patient has chosen to remain anonymous, and the scientists referred to him only as the “London patient.”

“I feel a sense of responsibility to help the doctors understand how it happened so they can develop the science,” he told The New York Times in an email.

Learning that he could be cured of both cancer and H.I.V. infection was “surreal” and “overwhelming,” he added. “I never thought that there would be a cure during my lifetime.”

Leave the moral decadence, consider those that had it through negligence and mistakes including innocent children.

Who does not know. My Aunt died of AIDS gotten from the only relationship she had. Sex will now be the order of the day without remorse and you know it. Just take a look at the social media. I am not saying I am not happy but those that felt compelled to hold back wont any longer.

Yeah, you have a point. But at the same time we should not be blinded to the fact that some people had it unknowingly and are living a life of stigmatization. N because of these set of people am glad that there's cure. Whether the order group see it as an avenue to jump around is left for them.

My dear, I have a cousin who holds herself back for fear of HIV. Imagine her reading this good news now. I have children and immortality is the order of the day. Its scary.

Huh. Let's just hope we can educate them more on other effect of immorality. There are other diseases that can be contacted sexually. HIV is just one of them.
