The man who may hold the key to a cure for Aids was urged by doctors last night to come forward for the sake of millions of virus carriers worldwide.

The case of Andrew Stimpson, 25, who was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 2002 but found to be clear of the virus in 2003, has stunned the medical world. If doctors can establish why this happened, without treatment, it could benefit the 34.9 million virus carriers worldwide.

Might just be a fluke, but who knows, there might be something more to it. Goodnight everyone!:bouncy:

I'm not sure it's possible to eradicate a virus from your system once you get it. If I'm not mistaken, once you get the flu, you always have that virus in your body, but your immune system knows how to keep it in check so there's no problem.

Probably a false positive. I remember that there was a lot of that going on in the 80's and early 90's.
