The conversation about the miracle baby allegedly cured of HIV is gaining momentum. That was only to be expected. Unfortunately, what was also expected, was a high level of wishful thinking. Too many of the articles I'm reading are looking at this as a sign for the end of times for HIV.
This case is a fluke. Even if it turns out that the child is cured, it will only give us more questions, not answers. The thing about flukes is that they are just that, flukes. They're accidents or luck of the draw. They can rarely be repeated.
While there may be some things drawn from this case, they will certainly not be solid answers. Maybe it will lead to different approaches to treating babies born +. Maybe meds will be handled in another fashion. Who knows?
Still the conversation plays out. Hopefully, it won't get too out there.
Cya...
