Marrow transplant may have cured AIDS - Yahoo! News

Great news if true!

Germany: Marrow transplant may have cured AIDS - Yahoo! News:
"An American man who suffered from AIDS appears to have been cured of the disease 20 months after receiving a targeted bone marrow transplant normally used to fight leukemia, his doctors said Wednesday.

While researchers — and the doctors themselves — caution that the case might be no more than a fluke, others say it may inspire a greater interest in gene therapy to fight the disease that claims 2 million lives each year. The virus has infected 33 million people worldwide."
