2010 is the year of HIV breakthroughs!!
A man who is referred to as the “Berlin Patient” received a stem cell transplant in 2007 as part of a treatment for leukemia, and just recently his doctors published a report saying that extensive testing “strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved.”
This is amazing! Just recently doctors reported that they developed a preventative drug that can reduce the risk of contracting HIV by 73%.
It will take a while for either of these procedures to come in full force, but it certainly gives a glimmer of hope to the 33 million people in the world who live with HIV!
