A woman became the third person ever to be cured of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, after she received a stem-cell transplant that used cells from umbilical cord blood, scientists reported Tuesday (Feb. 15).
The two other people cured of HIV, Timothy Brown and Adam Castillejo, both received bone marrow transplants from donors who carried a genetic mutation that blocks HIV infection, Live Science previously reported. These transplants contained adult hematopoietic stem cells, which are stem cells that develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, a key component of the immune system.
This genetic mutation is rare and has been identified in only about 20,000 bone marrow donors to date, The New York Times reported. The bone marrow transplant procedure itself takes a heavy toll on the body, both during the highly invasive procedure and for some time afterward. In both Brown and Castillejo, immune cells from the donors' bone marrow launched an attack against cells in the patients' bodies; this condition is known as "graft versus host disease." Following this initial reaction, though, both men were cured of HIV.
However, the woman recently cured of HIV had a very different experience from the two men cured before her.

Just so long as this is the only source of such umbilical cords.
So they can invent a cure for aids but they can’t get a handle on libtardism 🤪
No cure for the more seriousmcases of it- jts a mental degeneration that in most cases can’t be reveresed
I’m just not ready to believe that this is going anywhere because the “gay cancer” issue has been overshadowed by left wing politics, COVID-ism and omission by the mainstream media. What is this, “Vote for Hillary and the cure for HIV-AIDS will follow”?...Bull-SHIT it will!
NOTE: These are ADULT STEM CELLS and NOT Fetal Stem Cells.
When will we be told that Mushbrain and Falsie have saved the people!

Democrats are NEVER INTERESTED IN SOLVING A PROBLEM.
If they actually solved a ‘problem’ people wouldn’t need to vote for them any more..........................
