AIDS CURED? Amazing Case Revealed!
There is cautious optimism. After all, it's just one case. One man. But that one man did have AIDS and now he doesn't. The unidentified 42-year-old American man who is living in Berlin, Germany, appears to have been cured of AIDS. Twenty months ago he received a targeted, genetically-selected bone marrow transplant that is typically
used to fight leukemia. And now it may have cured his AIDS. The Associated Press reports that the doctors involved, who are from Berlin's Charite hospital and medical school, and other experts warn this could have been a fluke. But the man had been infected with the AIDS virus for more than 10 years, and now he shows no signs of carrying the virus. "We waited every day for a bad reading," lead doctor Dr. Gero Huetter told AP. That bad reading never came. Tests on his bone marrow, blood and other organ tissues have all been clean.
