newspaper stuff, second try

Mr. Duncan,

You asked I re-post the link to the "future of newspapers" site (it's interesting), so here it is. Let me know if anybody has trouble, guys.

The British "Spontaneous Clearance" of HIV

Try this link for the story. I hope this fellow's willing to undergo a lot of medical study!

Response to Jose's article

I could not get the link to work, but I think I found the article you were referring to here:

I think there is potentially some good information about the behavior of the virus that can come from studying this man's case. It's also good to keep in mind that there are many strains of the virus. An effective cure cannot be strain specific. I think that more information can be gained from studying those people who exhibit a natural immunity to the HIV/AIDS virus. There seems to be some type of biological adaptation in those people that prevents them from acquiring the virus. Unfortunately, I don't believe that a cure for the disease will be forthcoming anytime in the near future.

Are you serious?

I was reading an online version of the newspaper I used to get in my hometown and I came accross something that seems like it belongs in the Weekly World News rather then a real newspaper.

A british man claims he might hold the cure for aids, saying his body has rid itself of the HIV virus.

As unbelievable as it is, I must say it is intriguing. What if this is forreal? The tests did infact come back negative.........
