A baby girl who was born with HIV has been cured after very early
treatment with standard drug therapy, US researchers have said, in a
potentially ground-breaking case that could offer insights on how to
eradicate HIV infection in its youngest victims.
The child's story is the first account of an infant achieving a so-called functional cure, a rare event in which a person achieves remission without the need for drugs and standard blood tests show no signs that the virus is making copies of itself.
