I'll wait for the proof too but don't doubt or because it happened there. It's a very respected research hospital.

"This, just one week after Mississippi outlawing slavery."

It's UMMC. This is the same hospital where the first human lung transplant was performed as well as the first heart transplant.

Blair E. Batson children's hospital IS one of the most respected hospitals around. Children from all over come there for treatment of all ailnesses. My daughter stayed 4 days there when she was an infant and the care and treatment she received was out of this world. I got to meet some long term patients there and you wouldn't believe the strength I came away with from those children. I hope that this is true and that something in Mississippi finally got some positive news.
HIV and AIDS are related, but are two different things. It is certainly possible to keep someone who is HIV positive from progressing to AIDS.
The fact that Magic was wealthy (which gives him access to the best doctors and care) and became infected in early 1990s (when we made big strides in antiretroviral regimes) have helped him from developing AIDS.
As for the news out of Mississippi -- it certainly exciting, but it's not a "cure" for AIDS. At least not yet. It suggests that very early antiretroviral treatment can "cure" infants who are born HIV+, that's all.
It's not the first "cure" identified -- back in 2007, a stem cell bone marrow transplant cured an HIV+ adult male. These are exciting cases, but still a way off from a real applicable cure or vaccine.
They may have cured a baby or in this case a 2 yr old but if you think they'll distribute a cure for adults in any kind of disease or ailment you're delusional. Why cure something when the money from treatment is 10 fold? You make more on it than just selling it off as a cure all. As money hungry as society is you can forget it. Science and research is amazing and I firmly believe they have cures out there that are not to be opened to the public for that very reason.
I wouldn't go that far, but it wouldn't shock me if something like that actually happens from time to time.
FWIW, IMO, there's plenty enough diseases to keep the medical industry alive and well that a cure for cancer wouldn't hurt them.
