there have been lots of random cases of people that have either been cured of HIV, or are apparently immune to it. whats weird is that they are almost always of Nordic decent, yet medical researches haven't been able to figure out why that is. so basically this new "development" doesn't really mean shit, considering its just one case, and it seems like the curing HIV part was purely accidental. more than likely the same procedure wouldn't render the same results on someone else.
neat though.
another point is, although im sure most people won't agree with this, is that perhaps the world is better off without a cure for HIV. I mean, realistically, the threat of acquiring HIV (and other stds) is a more effective tool to maintaining social structures in place than strong morals/values. basically, the world would be extra fucked up without stds.
