US HIV baby 'cured' by early drug treatment
Found on BBC News on Sunday, 03 March 2013
A baby girl in the US born with HIV appears to have been cured after very early treatment with standard drug therapy, researchers say.
It suggests the treatment wiped out HIV before it could form hideouts in the body.
These so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly re-infect anyone who stops medication, said Dr Persaud.
After all those decades it would be a really great step forward if a working cure could be found.
