Still Waters 52,632 #1 Posted June 10, 2012 The fact that Timothy Brown is a reasonably healthy 46-year-old is no small thing. Only a few years ago, he had AIDS."I feel good," Brown told ABC News. "I haven't had any major illnesses, just occasional colds like normal people." Brown is the only person in the world to be cured of AIDS, the result of a transplant of blood stem cells he received to treat leukemia. "My case is the proof in concept that HIV can be cured," he said. http://news.yahoo.co...ews-health.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OverSword 56,749 #3 Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Didn't you see the episode of southpark where the boys go to Magic Johnson's house to ask him how he is still alive. The answer to the question, as it turned out, was that there is a cure for AIDS, money. Edited June 11, 2012 by OverSword 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miss_fionna 10 #6 Posted June 11, 2012 Depending on your definition of cured, others have too. I think it might not be considered a "cure" because of the maintenance care, which is really sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatsinausername 57 #10 Posted June 12, 2012 So he's 100% HIV/AIDS free? And not infectious? I'm a little skeptical.. but if he is, that's great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieChecker 26,662 #11 Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) What about Magic Johnson? Or was that HIV? Either way, I know he has no trace of it in his blood tests now. Magic Johnson has not been cured of AIDS. He never had AIDS. He has HIV, the virus that can lead into AIDS. He takes regular treatments for his HIV every day. http://en.wikipedia....i/Magic_Johnson To prevent his HIV infection from progressing to AIDS, Johnson takes a daily combination of drugs. http://www.pbs.org/w...i-am-not-cured/ But among the biggest myths he wants to set straight is that he has not been cured. http://www.thebody.com/content/62493/magic-johnson-is-not-cured-of-hiv.html Edited June 12, 2012 by DieChecker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieChecker 26,662 #12 Posted June 12, 2012 http://news.yahoo.co...ews-health.html This is really cool. Perhaps if they figure out what it is the mutation that prevents HIV infection is, then they can distribute that to infected people and effectively cure HIV and AIDS.
