A man has been cured of HIV!

[Shadow Stalker]

Doctors believe that a man infected with HIV has been cured through the use of experimental stem cell treatment. Timothy Ray Brown, aka the “Berlin Patient”, received a stem-cell transplant in 2007. This year, his HIV is gone, making him the first person to be cured of HIV.

Another victory in the fight against AIDS: studies show that when healthy people take antiretrovirals (a drug used to treat HIV) their chances of contracting HIV gets reduced by up to 73%.

Good one!

But seriously I'm just personally glad that there now is hope for HIV-Positive people everywhere. It may not mean that that a cure for AIDS has been found, but where are getting there.

I saw this in the paper, and actually smiled. Usually I wear a thrown of horror while reading the tales of murder, celevrity infedlity, murder, pedophiles, politicians and all the usual, hope crushing and sould destroying crap they have in there.

But don't worry Spencer. There are always new, nastier bugs out there. And the circumstances here were fairly unique.

I've heard they had a cure for years for HIV/AIDS but never released it out in the public.
