Last Monday, researchers shared the case of a London man who is being hailed as"functionally cured" of HIV. By Tuesday, that announcement was on the home page of virtually every paper of record in the world. Over the past week, this news has caused ripples of celebration, analysis and follow-up, including reports of a third patient who received the same treatment as the London man but whose recovery remains at a more tentative stage.
Charles LyonsThis breakthrough absolutely deserves to be met with enthusiasm and earnest discussion. For the second -- and possibly even third -- time in history, a marrow transplant from a donor with a protective genetic mutation appears to have allowed its recipient to control HIV without medication. The magnitude of such an achievement is impossible to overstate, both in terms of the hope it represents, and the research commitments it will help redouble.
