Yesterday, I Tweeted about the child from Mississippi who has been functionally cured of AIDS and it was one of those times where you were so happy to help spread such great news. The child is a little over two now. Within 30 hours of being born, doctors started the baby on drugs and this was before they were sure the baby was even infected. Apparently by starting the drugs so early, the HIV had no chance to try and find a hide out in the body. When they get a hideout, then they come back and reinfect all the clean cells so it is a never ending process. This would be only the second known cure of anyone with AIDS. I think to me what it shows, besides helping eradicate a deadly disease is that it gives you hope in the fight against other viruses.
