A Cure for HIV

Two years ago, a mother who was announced HIV positive moments before her delivery to her baby girl, was afraid her disease would transfer to her daughter. Doctors made a plan to treat the baby girl that had the virus, which would soon turn out to be AIDS, to treat the newborn with  three antiretroviral drugs. The drugs were given within thirty hours of the birth. Today, doctors are amazed and in awe for the results they found. HIV researchers say that the daughter is now "functionally cured" with only a very small presence of the virus that will require NO lifelong treatment, if she hadn't been treated with the drugs when she was born. Doctors are now furthering the investigation to see if were just by chance, or whether they may have found a potential cure for babies that are born into the virus. All factors of the baby and mother are being weighed out to see what exactly happened.
