hockeyville88 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That's fantastic. Definitely something to build on. And a big day for HIV positive couples who hope to be parents. It's becoming more and more possible for them to have kids and not risk passing on the virus to the fetus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 No...you should read the article. The baby was cured with treatments of the exact same drugs they currently use to treat HIV. They think that because the baby's HIV had not yet formed a resevoir in the body, it resulted in a cure. Hate to be a debbie downer, but this is not a cure for people who have HIV. More of a one off.

Gross-Misconduct Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 After reading more about this baby, I think "cured" might not be totally accurate. The baby is now testing negative for HIV but doctors can't say for sure that it won't return. Is there such a thing as remission for HIV? Looks like this baby might give us an answer.
