Just saying, your "as of today" is a lie.
Wait, how did he go from leukemia to HIV? It only says he went in for chemo for the leukemia, and then suddenly the stem-cell transplant cured him of the HIV he may not have had in the first place. He didn't even have T-Cell leukemia.

The treatment was life-threatening and not something many HIV patients would want to go through,
I think most patients who are already living with a life-threatening disease really would not mind a life-threatening cure as long as the chance of it working are good.
At least not this one.
Things I sometimes play...

"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

Not when there are medications that can help suppress the advance of HIV that don't have a 35% mortality rate just from the procedure.
First HIV cure that made it to the press.

Dont rain on my parade!
On a related note... I'm now done with one of my meds I've been taking for a couple of years. That means I'm just taking one pill daily now.

Translated: They couldn't manufacture the medicine anymore and you just finished off the last of the world's supply. Way to ruin it for everyone else.

Everyone would be in big trouble... considering that medication was Bactrim.

I am happy for this. Though I wish it was more conclusive. This is affected by finding out today that one of my favorite docs, who is awesome and a father of 5, just found out his 4 y.o. daughter has stage 3 aggressive Lymphoma... Not to start a research/science/business/politics debate but I don't even know how to finish. I have been so depressed and hugging my kids. I hit enter wondering what will happen in the OOT.
It seems like anything is possible with stem cells. Whenever I read an article like that it makes me think we aren't far off from becoming a civilization of immortal supermenandwomen.

I give it another 30-40 years and we'll work out exactly what makes stem cells tick. Then we can synthesize synthetic substances that mimic the effects. Pills to cure cancer. Aids vaccine in the water supply.
