Baby Cured of HIV for the First Time, Researchers Say

A Mississippi baby born with the AIDS virus appears to have been cured after being treated with an aggressive regimen of drugs just after her birth 2½ years ago, an unusual case that could trigger changes in care for hundreds of thousands of babies born globally each year with HIV.
The findings, reported Sunday by researchers, mark only the second documented case of a patient being cured of infection with the human immune-deficiency virus. The first, an adult man known as the Berlin patient, was cured as a result of a 2007 bone-marrow transplant.

Raw-Doggers rejoice?

Supposedly a doctor had come up with a serum from goats that cured AIDs from using the antibodies produces in goats

But you'd still end up with a kid. Sounds like a bit of a Pyrrhic victory to me.
AIDS or a kid? I'll take the kid.
I'm not saying raw-doggers will ever be risk-free, but if this hopeful little breakthrough turns out to be the real deal and we see a legitimate, reliable cure, they'll at least have one less thing to worry about. I don't think there is any risk to sexual intercourse (not pregnancy or any other STD like herpes) that is quite as feared as HIV.

Once this becomes more legit, as well as the male birth control research. Then, Raw-Doggers rejoice

That’s one slutty baby for drawing a STD so early. Probably a girl.

I researched this and it looks bogus. The product was called BB7075b and has had "dissapointing results" and has not even been tested as safe. Also a company was based on the research and bilked investors out of millions of dollars. I suspect mafia involvement (but then again I've been watching the Sopranos for 4 days straight now).
This link talks about financian highjinks of the goat serum duplicate company, and mentions how it's all been a sham about stated product effectiveness

Also the original post was about a baby being cured, apparently by using the same drugs that adults use, who are never cured. The only news there is that babies have more resilient immune systems than adults.

Perhaps I'm alone in this, but I simply do not fear HIV. I worry far less about catching HIV than I do about catching hepatitis, herpes, genital warts, antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea, or pregnancy.
You aren't alone on that one. I'm skeptical about AIDs, especially because it's so widely feared and talked about in popular space. I don't completed discount it, but I'm not really afraid of catching it all.
As a guy I'm not really that worried about catching STDs.
The only STDs I really fear are hepatitis and kids.

Damn thats a shame because it looked promising. At least it lowered the viral load of the young girl in the video
There is also another guy Timothy Brown known as the "berlin patient" who also claims to be cured of AIDS after he received a blood stem cell transplant
