Remission in a Child Born with HIV Raises Hope for AIDS Cure
Patients treated for HIV must usually continue the antiretroviral treatment for life. If they stop treatment, they tend to suffer an increase in the amount of the virus circulating in their body.
However, a South African child born with HIV surprised experts by appearing to be effectively cured of HIV after just one year of treatment followed by 8.5 years without treatment.
This is a rare phenomenon that has occurred only in a few patients, but it raises hopes that a definitive cure for AIDS may be possible in the future.
