First Documented Case of Child Cured of HIV

Hmm, thought I'd share this article:

www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130303172640.htm

Let's hope all goes well for the rest

Although it seem promising... there is a chance of it reoccuring....
Some people carry a gene that makes them very resistant to almost immune to the virus....

In another case an hiv positive man recieved a bone marrow transfusion, from a person with this gene.
After the transfusion, the virus could not be detected in his blood for 600 days....

If i remeber correctly, there is something in clinical trails, which the hope would be a cure.
Basically comes down to gene modification....

Hy thought I say my 2 c worth on this subject I hope they don't find a cure for Aid's . Reason I say that is aids is not the problem people are the problem we need people to change there behavior not a cure imagin how will just say oh well ill sleep with this girl or guy cos if I get Aids I just get the cure . Now I know people that really need the cure is people that get raped and ect. The world population need's some kind of defense to control human number's from sky rocketing . I wish they would find a cure for cancer sooner rather later as it affects more people with out a choice .

I hope you don't find a cure for the acne and other sides you get from using steroids...

I also think there is too much people on this planet, what concerns me most in this case is doctors and other medical personellwho contract the virus from helping hiv positive patients....

I reckon this is the dumbest thing Ive heard so far in 2013.

Yeah, they mention this in the study. He had both leukemia and HIV. They gave him a stem cell transplant from someone born with the immunity.

I'm noticing a common thread - gene manipulation seems to be the focus of most research.

However, in this case, the infant only had the ARV's. No other treatment.

Can't wait to see what advancements are made

The double muscle mutation comes to mind, but i dont think any person wants to actually live with that.....

So you want HIV to remain to solve the population crisis yet you want a cure for cancer...

Population crisis? Dont think he knows how much space there is left on earth.

I remember that story. I thought he was cured. What happened after the 600 days? Was the HIV detectable again?

ok...bashing the guy about not wishing for a cure for aids...but, and a very big but...from a "religious" aspect, he is correct in that if ppl practiced "God's word" and had sex with one partner when married only, there would be no aids! So yes ppl need to change their "sexual behavior" to follow the teachings of God... I think thats what he was getting at!

I honestly dont know, but it is possible that at the time of publishing the last tested point was 600 days.

@ Oom jack, there is a lot of space, but not alot of food. Its like polititians in my country, who are moaning about a slow population growth rate.
Why would you want more people if the majority is going to grow up poor. Rather have less people, who are better off....

In honestly dont know, why people have children, if the parents cant offer their children a better life with better prospects than the one they (the parents) had. But thats just my view.... i am drifting of topic here.

If u guy's read properly, it was my 2 cent's worth I know we need a cure for aids for so many people that are raped and contract it throw other people's negligence and so on. I thought this was a adult forum for mature people to speak there mind and view's on what ever subject is being talked about. My point of my story was that I wish it was cancer that was on the brink of being cured completely. As people with cancer (except smoker's) had no choice and maybe I am biased because I know more people then I can count on my hand that where very close to me that have died from cancer. I know no one will change my mind that we need balance in this world cos the way the population is growing this world want be able to support all of us

And let me just make it clear we can agree to disagree.

Harden up, you want to make a statement like that then you must expect one or two to take it the wrong way and get annoyed, it is the internet after all.

As someone mentioned above we dont have a population problem, we have a resource problem. We could probably fit in another 50 million people in the Northern Cape alone, its providing water, electricity and fossil fuel to these people that is the problem

Noone's bashed the guy's opinion, I just highlighted some inconsistencies in his thought process.

Damn! youre right..... now tell the ANC that. No building dams, Eskom F&^&%ing around with Coal generators etc.

If there isn't enough resources, work or what ever else, does this not mean that we are already 'over populated' ? Just a thought...
