Seems we're moving ever closer to the end of this terrible disease. A cure for HIV is one of those things I genuinely thought I'd never see in my lifetime, with this and the so called Berlin Patient. Still a long way to go, obviously, but sometimes, it's great being wrong.

A two-year-old child born with HIV infection and treated with antiretroviral drugs beginning in the first days of life no longer has detectable levels of virus using conventional testing despite not taking HIV medication for 10 months, according to findings presented today at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Atlanta.
This is the first well-documented case of an HIV-infected child who appears to have been functionally cured of HIV infection—that is, without detectable levels of virus and no signs of disease in the absence of antiretroviral therapy.
