Don't know how much hope there is in making this a reality for others - but still an inspiring and hopeful story nonetheless.

I think story has been around for a while.

Nonetheless it is an important reminder of the promise of hope.

I see that now - thanks. I wonder why this was dated June 3rd if it's old, maybe there was a new development?

Anyways - agreed, good news can be shared more than once. :)

It's good news that will undoubtedly inspire new types of research. But it's not a viable cure in and of itself.

Always remember to STILL use a condom! I'm looking at you too, straight people!

Total Body Condom- no body fluid contact at all!

But I was reading Robert Louis Stevensons classic book TREASURE ISLAND MEDIA and he said to not use a condom. I'm so confused.

New York Magazine had an article last week on Timothy Brown (the man who was cured).
