Maybe More...

 

This article is about 2 more people that may have been cured of HIV.  The piece is rather brief, so there isn't much I can offer here.  The method was similar, the introduction of stem cells from HIV resistant donors.    

It'll take time to see if this is a cure for them.  Even if it is, these cases are exceedingly rare.  There's much more to be learned about the process & the long range outcome.

Give it a read & take care.

I realize there are risks, as there are with every transplant or surgery.  There are a myriad of reasons to be refused for a organ transplant & in some areas being + has been or still is, cause enough not to be considered a candidate for the procedure.  This could prove interesting.  I'll be keeping a look out on anything developing reguarding the topic.
