If this is real and doctors finally have found a cure then this is a Massive Medical Breakthrough.

“This patient is trading one poison for another. He may not have to be on antiretroviral drugs anymore, but he has to take immunosuppressant drugs now to prevent the rejection of his transplant cells. Again, what this is, is an interesting proof of concept, but it’s absolutely impractical.”

I love how this article just bashes the discovery instead of presenting the facts about the discovery. Half the article is spent saying how this really isn't a big deal and there's a lot of draw backs.

"It seems to doctors that an actual cure for HIV lies within the suppression of these "CCR5" or "docking station" cells - either through transplants or gene therapy.
Or, you can hope that you're part of that mutated 1%."
Hmmm, Zombies or X-Men?
