    Full article here: More HIV 'cured': first a baby, now 14 adults - health - 14 March 2013 - New Scientist

    Obviously it isn't perfect and isn't reliable either, but it's still a step in the right direction. Pretty exciting stuff.

    I can only hope something works out soon. One of my friends has HIV and I mean...I don't want him to have to keep dealing with the amount of money he has to pay for the meds nor the need of having to take all said pills. As well as the backlash from them...

    That's just wonderful. I hope this means that a cure will really happen sometime soon. And that it can become available to everyone who might need it.

    I've heard about this a few days back from a friend and she said something to the lines of this.

    Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. I am very grateful for this, and quite happy that people who screw up can get a second chance. But I do hope this doesn't mean that people won't be as cautious because there is a cure.

    This is exciting news...not only for what this means for the annihilation of HIV, but also what this means for other viruses too. Our world may look a lot different by the end of the decade :icon_bigg
