No thats great.
I have no AIDS good or bad, but I do feel as if it the worse thing ever. I have a cold sore though, which is prolly second worse.

Amazing thing to have happened but the press were too bothered about Ross and Brand.
I only knew because Channel 4 news mentioned once. www.newscientist.com/article/dn16032-hiv-cure-wont-save-sick-millions.html

Trouble is very few are resistant
we can't go raping them all for bone marrow that's not that likely to match anyway.

But you could rape them if you had aids.

This ^^
I did catch this as it had front page coverage in a gay newspaper I spotted when in a gay pub, but even they struggled to expand on what was known about it over more than a paragraph or two.
It does sound like major surgery and I have no idea how many folks with natural immunity there are out there, so I'm not sure that it's in any way easily repeatable (if you can find a willing doner with matching genetic specs and the very very rare immunity), but still, wow, for the first time someone got cured, FACT, and apparently it is repeatable, so WHY has this amazing event been passed over by the major media?
I can't imagine how the guy feels...

I saw it on the Beeb
website a couple of weeks back, but it was a bit of a sub-sub-heading at the time.

And on another note.
A friend of mine wants a nice simple front page web site kinda affair that she can put some contact details on. Is there anyone who would help the poor lass out. She is starting her own dress making business, and just needs a page with some contact details and a few of her designs. Sorry to be cheeky, but I bet there are some guys on here that could knock something up in a jiffy, or if you could recommend someone I shall use my 600th link for wired for sound. She can even afford to pay a fiver or so.
Sorry to be cheeky :-)
