Till yesterday there was no cure of HIV or AIDS. But yesterday an HIV patient Timothy Ray Brown, 47, an American from Seattle, Washington, got cured of HIV through a bone marrow transplant. He is now launching a new foundation to boost research toward a cure. The amazing fact is, the transplant was not intended for his HIV, it was for his leukemia. But after successful transplantation, the doctors found that he is free of HIV virus, which means, there is no trace of HIV virus in his body. So, Timothy Ray Brown is now HIV negative and a new era for the treatment of HIV has just begun.

I read this in our news yesterday. Sometimes I think that some people are having favor of illnesses like AIDS, cancer and others. It is incredible how the science build new generations for everything and at the same time some sicknesses are impossible for fighting. I hope it is true. More lives saved, better for the future. Every mind is precious at the moment, when money roll world, people, everything. May be someone will build a better, new begging.

This is great! I have also read the news about this guy. Hopefully there would be more developments in this area to address the growing needs of people with HIV especially in the African region.

This is good news to those who have family and friends who have love ones with HIV that there is hope in curing this illness. It is indeed a breakthrough. Though the treatment was not intended for HIV the possibility for its cure is at hand.
