According
to Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns
Hopkins Children’s Centre in Mississippi, “We believe that early Interferon treatment prevented
replication of viral reservoirs that causes infection of the viral cells by targeting
T cells CD4.” The child is said to be “functionally
cured” which only means the HIV virus is no longer infectious and found to be
ineffective to replicate.
In
United Kingdom, early tests and treatment for a mother with HIV has already been
done during the past years. But in this
very rare “cured” case of an infected child, it is said that it has something
to do with the child’s genetic makeup, which doctors and scientists are
undergoing data analysis. Once
scientific method on eradicating the virus from HIV positive newly born has
been established and further cases like this did happen then we can assume that
cure for HIV has begun or this is the end of HIV. These also enlightened further development on
finding cure for teen and/or adult HIV cases.
As
of yet still the best way to fight against such dreaded disease is through prevention by having safe sex, use of condoms, and living a healthy lifestyle plus exercise and diet.

Also, being with only one sex partner will help to eradicate spreading of such diseases.
Rochkirstin thank you for mentioning this. In addition, both partners should be faithful to each other when it comes to sex. If one partner is faithful and the other isn't and did have multiple sex partners then acquiring and spreading the disease is more likely.
I hope this newly discovered cure will give hope to HIV victims.
This is a good breakthrough. Not yet the cure but a huge step closer to it. Of course, prevention is always better than cure.
Yes it is good news lovemindanao. Most people are scared of the HIV because of its fatal effects once become worse leading to death. I agree there are other fatal diseases out there and perhaps more in the coming future.
It might be Tess, lets just hope and pray for the better regarding this.
I agree Franc, lets just hope for further development about this.
When I heard about this news, it gave me hope that those who suffers HIV can be finally cured. I hope in the nearer future approved medicines will be out in the market.
I hope this news will turn out successful such will help those millions of people afflicted with the condition. Better yet, keep safe always!
Yeah, lets us all hope for the best
wow iguess i am passing the sex one since I am married so better exercise and good diet will need to push this year for more health assistance! xx
You're married but you look young and gorgeous for a married woman MaryJane.
becoming loyal to your lover will also prevent from having HIV. it is better to PATIENTly wait to the right one, than to be a PATIENT of getting infected of HIV.
This is a great hope for those who are infected with this deadly virus. .but whatever it is, prevention always better than cure. . .
This is a new hope for those who are currently suffering. :) I just really wish that this won’t lead to some being complacent about their polygamous se**al habits.
Yeah you are right Janine, wait for the right guy but make sure the man you waited for is clean, I mean having no infectious disease like this.
Yup Gracia prevention is always better than cure.
Christeen it is a new hope and about the polygamy issue it is another topic to discuss upon.
I agree papaleng safe sex is the best thing to do and advice that you can give for the modernized culture of the youth and adult of today.
Ive also read very recently about the alarming numbers of diagnosed patients, which most of them never get into HIV testing at least once a year knowing that they have always been active into casual sex in most social media sites. Curing is not the only problem our society is facing this issue but also intensive prevention program from the government.
This is just the start. Hopefully, those that have AIDS would be given hope by this.
I agree The Manila Urbanite there should be an intensive prevention programs and for those already infected or carriers "must" at all cost at least do yearly checkup in order to teach them to prevent spreading the disease.
Zion it is really open a leap of hope for those with AIDS and hopefully in the coming years modern medicine will find a possible cure.
Another medical milestone that will save millions of lives. Hopefully, it will end the victims' misery.
There's still hope for HIV inflicted persons. also, I would just like to add that to prevent from getting the infection better stay away from multiple partners.
I heard about this news, when a baby with HIV was miraculously cured. That was a great news! But the thing that makes me sad is she's still a victim of this disease that can easily prevented by being faithful with one's partner.
Yeah I agree Yani in order to prevent acquiring such disease STAY ON WITH ONE SEX PARTNER and in addition be honest and faithful to your partner.
Yeah Ann the child is newly born and she is an innocent victim. As a result, she acquired the disease. Ann if only people are honest to their partners then spreading the disease will be prevented.
this is definitely a great news.. finally, after decades of battling, many people will be able to get cured.. this is a great start.. congrats to science!
I am glad that there will be a medication or treatment for this disease. But, I hope that it will not make a statement that it's okay to have sex with various partners because it's safe already.
I heard about this while watching the news on TV. I guess, this brings hope to those patients with HIV.
Justin, Levy and Claire thanks for the comment. Will just await and see for further development regarding this.
Glad that treatment is found. But this does not mean the end of HIV in the world. Not everyone will get to be cured. But will see how far this can go :)
I agree Ms. Zamora not everyone will be cured and this is just the beginning and will await and see for further updates.
