Caution over transplant HIV 'cure' - Health News, Health & Wellbeing - The Independent
here's news on the HIV front. Doctor's in the UK are being very cautious about hailing this as a success, as the HIV virus has proven to be very adept at hiding in cells, so there may still be parts of the virus left. Also, bone marrow transplants are in incredibly invasive and intense procedure, not something that could be adopted as a widespread cure. another thing, the bone marrow was from a HIV resistant person, which constitutes only about 3% of the population of the UK. Now that is not a sample from the global population, but nonetheless, it is easy to see how logistically, bone marrow transplants would be impossible to implement as a cure for HIV world wide.
