JACKSON, Miss. —Doctors at the University of Mississippi Medical Center said they have cured a baby suffering from HIV and the breakthrough is reverberating worldwide. Related

Woman says ex kidnapped her 18-wheeler overturns off of I-20 3 arrested in Jackson drug bust Grenade launcher found during drug bust Fire hydrant testing begins in West...

"There is excitement around this," said Dr. Deborah Persaud of John's Hopkins Children's Center.

Doctors across the country are heralding the medical breakthrough in Jackson.

"We have, perhaps inadvertently, but in fact, cured the child," said Dr. Hannah Gay, associate professor of pediatrics. "We don't know yet what to expect with this patient because she's the first of her kind."

The hospital will not share many details about the 2-and-a-half-year-old who was born HIV positive, saying only the child is from the Mississippi area and was born to a woman with HIV.

Is this a joke?

And the highlight of the excerpt is?

“Woman says ex kidnapped her 18-wheeler overturns off of I-20...”

[rockrr]

I’m still puzzling over the Grenade launcher LOL

“One of the flay rods has gone out askew on treadle.”

[GeronL]

AIDS activists will be protesting 18 wheelers and grenade launchers any minute

[WKB]

Another Mississippi first ping

[Scutter]

Wow! I hope this is repeatable and not just a one-time thing.

[WKB]

There has to be a better article on this some where.

[petitfour]

Can we post a link to the C-L?

If not, feel free to have this removed.

Thank you for posting!

Heh... that one raised my eyebrows too.

[WKB]

Links to the CL are allowed. You can only “see” a few articles a month without paying $10\month. Obits are still visible for free.Which is about all I read there anyway.

[VAFreedom]

I believe there is only one other person who’s cured of AIDS, so this makes 2.

[WKB]

Thanks HB

“”We have, perhaps inadvertently, but in fact, cured the child,” said Dr. Hannah Gay, associate professor of pediatrics.”

I’d like to confirm this report with someone that’s straight. Hannah, obviously, has her own agenda.

The good news is they can cure AIDS. The bad news is each treatment requires an 18 wheeler be overturned with a grenade launcher.

[left that other site]

Not to mention a drug bust and fire Hydrant testing!

...and the sperving bearings interfered with the panometric flam.

Wow, what a complex medical case! And they haven't even gotten to the infant yet. Must have the docs' heads spinning.

[tbw2]

There is a European man theoretically cured of HIV. He had HIV, had leukemia, they picked a bone marrow donor who had 2 copies of the Delta-32 gene that makes someone immune to HIV. Man in theory is cured.

[John123]

Jokes aside, this is good news story.

[Right Wing Assault]

And the fandleratus might be reflatulating the flentrop or — if they’re lucky, the snercher is just plain shot.

[SgtHooper]

Keeping fingers crossed, but with these types of diseases, call me skeptical. Only time will tell.

[Windflier]

The good news is they can cure AIDS. The bad news is each treatment requires an 18 wheeler be overturned with a grenade launcher.

That's it. You win. LOL

[Windflier]

Wow! I hope this is repeatable and not just a one-time thing.

Which one? The flipped 18 wheeler, or the grenade?

[Yossarian]

The good news is they can cure AIDS. The bad news is each treatment requires an 18 wheeler be overturned with a grenade launcher.

The good news is that the cost of the cure for AIDS will be covered by selling tickets to happily-paying rednecks.

'Doctors say infant cured of HIV at UMC'

Awesome..if true. I knew a little girl who lost her Mom and Dad to AIDS because of someones promiscuity. No one ever said which parent it was...so sad.

[kik5150]

It has been known for some time that a grenade launcher will eliminate all other medical problems.

[rdl6989]

BUMP! This could be seriesly hugh if it can be proven.

[virgin]

Only, and only in Mississippi! But, no matter how crazy they report the news, it is still something newsworthy.
Dr. Hannah Gay is a pediatric physician in Jackson, MS and has been working with an infant infected with HIV at birth. Apparently the HIV is no longer detectable in the infant at present. So, great news all around. The truck, the grenade and all others are the result of the good ole boys celebrating over this story. Thats the way it plays down here.

[The KG9 Kid]

If the money’s right, I’d be willing to take that job.

[Michael Barnes]

Thanks for posting. If this treatment can be reproduced, it is incredible news.

Its a shame the thread became an embarrassment due to other posters.

[FreedomStar3028]

So she tracks the infant down because they find out that she hasn’t been getting her medicine. Then they find out that she doesn’t have HIV?

Probably didn’t have it in the first place, or the tests got messed up and the child didn’t have it to begin with.

They are saying the child was cured, but they didn’t do anything.

Either a miracle, or Dr. Gay isn’t a very good doctor.

[Impy]

Is the kid named Shaqette?

[onyx]

Praise God and Dr. Hannah Gay.

[petitfour]

It is amazing!

This is why it's important to have your children inoculated against grenade launchers.

[Slings and Arrows]

Is a prescription grenade launcher required, or will an OTC grenade launcher do?

[grey_whiskers]

*PING*!

OP and links at Post #13.

Thanks, grandpa jones.

Cheers!

Good news. Can you imagine if the bigger killer diseases were related to homosexual lifestyles how many lives could be saved?

[exDemMom]

The good news is they can cure AIDS. The bad news is each treatment requires an 18 wheeler be overturned with a grenade launcher.

Haha. If this forum had a "Like" feature, I'd definitely "Like" that post!

[exDemMom]

Either a miracle, or Dr. Gay isn’t a very good doctor.

I'm sure the pediatrician's skills are fine.

The problem with testing is that there is a lower limit of detection, no matter what kind of test is used. A person can have AIDS, but the tests won't detect it because the specific types of cells targeted by the HIV virus have been killed off, and the quantity of virus in other tissues is too low to be detected.

I will need to read the original research articles to see what is really going on here. I know that (if I were doing the diagnosis) I'd want to show that there is no detectable virus, and that the child has a healthy population of the cells normally killed by HIV.

[oh8eleven]

Doctors say infant cured of HIV
In a TV news report this morning, it was said that the virus was still in her blood system, but in such small numbers, it wasn't detectable by normal tests.
So rather than being cured, perhaps "in remission" might be a better description.

[JimRed]

I am happy for the child being cured, but concerned the the homosexuals will now feel free to go back to unrestricted unprotected buggery.

HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

[NFHale]

Or pulling the grenade-launching fire hydrant out of the drugged, kidnapped woman’s bust...

THAT must have REALLY hurt... Hate when that happens. There was this one time at Band Camp, see, and ...
