first man to recover from hiv aparently

The last paragraph is worth the reading.
Quote:
The trust said there had been several other cases of claimed “spontaneous clearance” of the virus worldwide, although it is not believed any have been proved. A spokeswoman added that the trust had urged Stimpson to return for tests, but that so far he had not done so.[/b]
Just saw this story on the News tonight actually. This has been proved, however, unlike other reports. The tests were positive for HIV, and even though the man didn't take any medication that patients with HIV would normally take, he fully recovered! He said that he felt extremely lucky and that he would help anyone that he could. Damn straight! Over 20 million something people have died from the disease, if this guy holds the cure, he needs to get his ass into the hospital for testing galore!
Pretty cool though. :)
