at the end of the text: "...scientists were quick to point out that bone marrow transplants can be fatal, and there's no way Brown's treatment could be applied to the 33.3 million people around the world living with HIV..."

...it's a start though

i read about that already. they said that they he was cured because of a different disease killed it(same way they found a cure for small pox and the basic principle for treating snake bites and other stuff like that) my question is how are they gonna find out exactly what did it and how are they be able to replicate the success with different ppl.;)

When such a kind of breakthrough is found the price of the medicine is decided by the company funding its research so initially its a billionaire thing so they can do smex in unprotected way....
These kind of medicines to evolve into something without sideeffects and effective at low cost takes centuries if not decades!!! So it will be a long time before people start doing it in the unprotected way!!

But still, they have found a guy who was cured of HIV, he was monitored during when he was HIV, and when the virus disappeared, and that's what we need. This is a scientific breakthrought, that they found that a guy who's immune to small pox, and that this immunity, elliminates HIV completely. The sad this is, the bone marrow transplant is very dangerous, and like 1% of the caucasians who's immune to small pox can only elliminate this virus from their system. I'm not sure that they can elliminate HIV with a simple bone stransplant, or this bone marrow has to come from this 1% of the caucasians. This is fascinating people. The most common, uncurable virus has found it's weakness.
