SF man first person ever to be cured of AIDS
No kidding. This seems to have flown under the radar.
Looks like all those boys who had their units skinned to 'reduce the risk of HIV transmission' are really ummm... hosed.

San Francisco Man First Person Ever to be Cured of AIDS
In medical news, a San Francisco man has reportedly become the first person ever to be cured of AIDS. Doctors say 45-year-old Timothy Ray Brown’s HIV was eradicated after he received a bone marrow transplant from a person that had a rare HIV immunity. The transplant was intended to combat a resurgence of leukemia, which Brown has been cured of as well. Doctors are unsure why the treatment was so successful, but they will begin clinical trials next year.
