they weren't even 100% sure that the infant was infected in the first place...

"This is the very first case in which we've conclusively been able to document that the baby was infected and then after a period of treatment has been able to go off treatment without viral rebound," Luzuriaga told CNN.

Infants have been known to be born with HIV and actually lose it on their own. It happens. Not saying that's what happened but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

She also isn't 100% cure. it could still come back later in her life

That sounds a little uncertain, but there was a big development on a vaccine for HIV at University of Western Ontario not too long ago.

pretty sure there's been a supposed hiv cure for a while now

I believe it just because I know Magic Johnson has had the cure for like what, 30 years now?

 

[nagger]

the cure is money.

heard about this on the news... they said the baby was hiv positive... I asked if they were sure... they said they weren't just sure, they were hiv positive.

 

[BE..]

that is a very shitty gif.

I'm pretty sure it's not a cure. Isn't it just a super expensive antiretroviral treatment that slows down the process of HIV turning into aids?

Usually kept in the bedroom.

 

[cool_name]

its great that its cured and everything but why was a baby having unprotected sex!?

[KEVTRON]

just take some tylenol

If you boof 7 advil and do a shot of whiskey you can cure anything.

The pharmaceutical companies are just out for your money

i take human anatomy and i have a doctor (obviously) teaching it. he said that basically they gave the baby like 3 different kinds of medicine, and it was a lets say happy accident that they prob will not be able to do again. also the fact that it was a baby had something to do with it. also they are not sure if it is completely gone yet.

I'm digging the new icon. Keeping it fresh.
