OH MY GOD A CHILD WAS CURED OF HIV
I’M LINKING YOU TO GOOGLE TO SHOW THAT THERE’S MORE THAN ONE SOURCE
DUDE
DUDE.
look this is fantastic and all and it’s a really exciting discovery. but this title is incredibly misleading.
- this is not pointing to a cure for HIV for everyone, it’s stated that this treatment would not work on adults.
- there’s some skepticism within the medical community that this child could have even been truly considered “infected”, as the virus did not build up the “reservoirs” within the body that prevent it from being cured.
- there is no/very little research at the moment which points to this treatment working on other babies who have the disease passed on from their mother.
so while yes this is something to get pumped about and a very important potential breakthrough in helping curb/altogether cure the disease, let’s not cloud the facts of the case
