Man 'Cured' of AIDS in San Francisco

There is news coming out that a man from San Francisco has apparently been 'cured' of the AIDS. This comes after being diagnosed with HIV over a decade ago. This comes after receiving a transplant of stem cells that included an HIV immunity gene:

“I quit taking my HIV medication the day that I got the transplant and haven’t had to take any since,” said Brown, who has been dubbed “The Berlin Patient” by the medical community.

Brown’s amazing progress continues to be monitored by doctors at San Francisco General Hospital and at the University of California at San Francisco medical center.

“I’m cured of HIV. I had HIV but I don’t anymore,” he said, using words that many in the scientific community are cautiously clinging to.

Whoa!
