Fourth HIV poz cured

[tallslenderguy]

Not that this can be done on a practical or multiple basis, but we are learning it is possible to erradicate HIV from infected people. 

"The latest patient, the fourth to be cured in this way, is known as the "City of Hope" patient after the U.S. facility in Duarte, California, where he was treated, because he does not want to be identified.

As well as being the oldest, the patient has also had HIV the longest, having been diagnosed in 1988 with what he described as a "death sentence" that killed many of his friends.

He has been on antiretroviral therapy (ART) to control his condition for more than 30 years."

After all these years, it's almost too good to believe.  Bittersweet though, considering all those we've lost over the years.
