A few days ago, I posted about the 3rd case of a HIV being cured due a transplant. This had been the 1st woman & 1st person of color. But in only 3 cases that makes it different, not unique.
There are articles out this morning asking HIV+ people if this makes them feel hopeful. Some of these pieces are even pushing for the reader to get their hopes up. There is no call for that. This may have been the 3rd case, but it's still a fluke. It's not seen as a controllable or safely repeatable method.
This is a great thing for this woman. It may help in the fight against HIV. It won't provide a cure enmasse. It shouldn't being touted as such. IMO, these articles are cruel & reckless. Maybe something will come of this someday. For now, it's just a case of someone getting a bit of luck in a bad situation. That's all.
Cya...
