Re: Omg! They cured the HIVy!
Basically, once you weed out all the premature sciencegasming, the truth is that this means it's a possibility that if they start HIV therapy in newborns earlier as a general practice, they'll be able to cure it in some newborns. Anything beyond that is seriously jumping to conclusions.
Re: Omg! They cured the HIVy!
(Anonymous) 2013-03-05 02:47 am (UTC)(link)I'd love to be excited and I'd love a cure for HIV to be found even more, but this just seems like a very slim chance of a cure for a small group of those affected.
Not to mention that even if this turns out to be an actual cure for newborns, there will still be too many HIV-positive newborns who won't have the chance to get the therapy, just the way therapies for reducing the mother-to-child transmission are not available for all that need them. :/
Re: Omg! They cured the HIVy!
That's not to say it's not still a major breakthrough and a really good thing, especially for that one kid! but we need to like... be realistic about what actually went down.
