HIV Cure

In the news yesterday I read an article that said there is a baby that has been cured of HIV. When the baby was first born, doctors used a series of shots to prevent the HIV from spreading throughout the body and hiding in certain places they wouldn't be able to find later. They routinely did these tests for 18 months and then the family temporarily stopped coming to treatment. When the family came back several months later there were no signs of the virus in the child's blood. With this news coming out it gives an optimistic outlook in the medical field that they are one step closer to accomplishing a goal that is very important to the world. This is a very good sign because if doctors can notice these things when children are just born, we can go to Africa and help stop the disease in newborns to stop from spreading the disease. If we go to Africa and teach the doctors and medical personnel there what steps to take when trying to cure the newborns, it will help them decrease the population of HIV in the country.
