Why HIV advance is not a universal cureThe internet is buzzing about an HIV-infected man who may have gotten rid of his disease through a bone marrow transplant. But the procedures he went through do not represent a cure for all HIV/AIDS patients, as they are risky and not proven to work in everyone. Also, the disease could still be lurking the patient's body, doctors say. The news about Timothy Ray Brown, a 44-year-old American living in Berlin, first surfaced in 2008, when his doctors reported about his case. Here's what happened with Brown, who is HIV positive and broke his silence in a recent article with the German magazine Stern . He is battling a cancer called acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors first treated him high-dose chemotherapy, but when that failed, turned to a bone marrow transplant (which contains stem cells) in 2007. Brown's oncologist decided to look for a bone marrow donor who had a had a special genetic mutation that made the stem cells in it naturally resistant to HIV infection. His physician, Dr. Gero Huetter, was able to find this rare match and Brown got the bone marrow transplant. He needed a second stem cell transplant because the cancer came back. Today, he appears to be cancer free and doctors can't find traces of the virus that causes AIDS either. This fascinating scientific advance is by no means a cure for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. As CNN's Miriam Falco reported in 2008:
Just how dangerous are bone marrow transplants? About one-third of patients die during them, Dr. Jay Levy told Health.com last year. Bottom line: It's exciting news, but not likely to cure the global AIDS pandemic.

to light and make it important. A lot more people really need to read this and understand this side
of the story. I was surprised that you're not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.
With havin so much written content do you ever
run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of completely unique content
I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems
a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any
ways to help protect against content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.
