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

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...

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