The donor was, thanks to genetics, immune to HIV—and the immunity seemed to have passed to Brown, who no longer needed antiretroviral therapy to control the HIV. Doctors eventually declared him cured. In 2013, doctors at Harvard Medical School reported similar successes.

In March 2013, the “Mississippi baby” case was made public: A newborn that had become infected with HIV in its mother’s womb was treated aggressively with antiretroviral drugs, starting during the second day of its life. When the mother stopped administering the drugs after 18 months, the child was still able to keep the virus in check, much to the surprise of her physicians.

French researchers reported on 14 adult patients who were also treated very soon after they were infected. When they later discontinued the therapy, the virus remained unable to reproduce in dangerous amounts. …

That’s going to hurt, when homosexual doctors take bone marrow from heterosexual patients without consent.

If they ever develop a cure for aids, the depravity in this country will see no limits. We already know how to prevent it.
