First man ‘functionally cured’ of HIV - Yahoo! News


I didn't even know there were people immune to HIV.

Interesting I say they will have a cure in the next ten years. On the other hand I think they already do its just global population control.

I doubt many people that have HIV/AIDS, are paying for their own medications, so they're actually costing billions of dollars.

Not surprised at all. Gene mutations can occur and someone can be immune to HIV. Its very rare, and this guy has the gene that got passed on.

Its less than a dollar a day to cover the cost of meds for HIV treatment. Not sure about full blown AIDS.

Point taken but think about how many have died from this disease already...population control

False.

This guy HAD HIV, got a stem cell transplant from someone that was HIV immune, and now his HIV is "gone"

I seen some shit on TV about it being less than a dollar a day but I stand corrected. I still think it comes down to population control either way

That can't be right, if you cost £20k per month and your lifetime cost is 600k tha means you only live 30 months which is wrong ,people live 20years showing no effects

Everyone will stop using condoms now!

Rather it's $15k a month, or $618k in 24 years - my point is that the majority of people are NOT paying it.

Guess I can stop stressing over all those Haitian trannies I fucked.
