This week it was announced that there may be a cure for AIDS (HIV positive).
A Belgian who had been living with AIDs was diagnosed with Leukemia. In 2007, doctors treated the leaukemia with a bone marrow transplant. The bone marrow came from a donor that immune to AIDs (only about 1% of the population is immune). The transplant cured both his Leukemia and his AIDs.
He is currently being monitored at SF General Hospital and UCSF.
Doctors examine AIDS 'cure' case
Truly amazing what modern medicine can do and how much is still not known.
