Man Free of HIV After Stem Cell Transplant

From CNN

"A 42-year-old HIV patient with leukemia appears to have no detectable HIV in his blood and no symptoms after a stem cell transplant from a donor carrying a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to the virus that causes AIDS, according to a report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine."

I was really excited to hear about this, although I know this is just a small step. I think the possibilities of stem cell treatments are limitless.
