JACKSON, Miss. —Doctors at the University of Mississippi Medical Center said they have cured a baby suffering from HIV and the breakthrough is reverberating worldwide. Related

Woman says ex kidnapped her 18-wheeler overturns off of I-20 3 arrested in Jackson drug bust Grenade launcher found during drug bust Fire hydrant testing begins in West...

"There is excitement around this," said Dr. Deborah Persaud of John's Hopkins Children's Center.

Doctors across the country are heralding the medical breakthrough in Jackson.

"We have, perhaps inadvertently, but in fact, cured the child," said Dr. Hannah Gay, associate professor of pediatrics. "We don't know yet what to expect with this patient because she's the first of her kind."

The hospital will not share many details about the 2-and-a-half-year-old who was born HIV positive, saying only the child is from the Mississippi area and was born to a woman with HIV.

This is why it's important to have your children inoculated against grenade launchers.

Is a prescription grenade launcher required, or will an OTC grenade launcher do?

Good news. Can you imagine if the bigger killer diseases were related to homosexual lifestyles how many lives could be saved?

The good news is they can cure AIDS. The bad news is each treatment requires an 18 wheeler be overturned with a grenade launcher.

Haha. If this forum had a "Like" feature, I'd definitely "Like" that post!

Either a miracle, or Dr. Gay isn’t a very good doctor.

I'm sure the pediatrician's skills are fine.

The problem with testing is that there is a lower limit of detection, no matter what kind of test is used. A person can have AIDS, but the tests won't detect it because the specific types of cells targeted by the HIV virus have been killed off, and the quantity of virus in other tissues is too low to be detected.

I will need to read the original research articles to see what is really going on here. I know that (if I were doing the diagnosis) I'd want to show that there is no detectable virus, and that the child has a healthy population of the cells normally killed by HIV.

In a TV news report this morning, it was said that the virus was still in her blood system, but in such small numbers, it wasn't detectable by normal tests.
So rather than being cured, perhaps "in remission" might be a better description.

I am happy for the child being cured, but concerned the the homosexuals will now feel free to go back to unrestricted unprotected buggery.

HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

Or pulling the grenade-launching fire hydrant out of the drugged, kidnapped woman’s bust...

THAT must have REALLY hurt... Hate when that happens. There was this one time at Band Camp, see, and ...

After they rolled over the 18 wheeler! OUCH!

I tell ya, medical science is looking more and more like voodoo every day. Must have something to do with the sequester, ya think?

>> “Is this a joke?” <<

We wish!

This is another attempt to profit from Robert Gallo’s original fraud.

HIV is nothing. It is ‘found’ by searching for an antibody, and said antibody has never been positively associated with a real virus. The chance that there is a real virus is less than zilch.

There has been ample time to conduct tests, yet no tests have ever been done, since they are well aware that testing will prove beyond a doubt that there is no virus.

Flim-Flam is always repeatable.

Ductors have already murdered enough infants with their “therapy,” and this needs to be nipped in the bud.

“HIV” is always a deliberate mis-diagnosis.

AIDS is always caused by drug use. It is the result of destroying your immune system with constant drug use, thus contracting a common disease that your destroyed body cannot fight (usually TB or hepatitis)

Thanks for that 20-year-old news. I was referring to her name.
