Wow.
Via CNN: A man appears free of HIV after a stem cell transplant.
The doctors cited in the article all downplay the viability of this as a treatment for HIV, since "About a third of the people die [during such transplants]."
The guy's leukemia also relapsed.
But still, wow.
I can almost hear fundamentalist Christians now.
"Stem cells.... bad? RAAWWWRRRR JESUS SMAAASH!"

I wonder if Ryan has their contact info… I should ask Ryan to introduce me to these docs. I want to do a study on hiv encephalopathy. When I read this article, I felt sad. It’s amazing how much the United States has fallen in terms of scientific progress. The United States used to dominate research journals. In the last 6-8 years, we have gone from 75-80% to less than 50%. What the hell happened?
