"This is the very first case in which we've conclusively been able to document that the baby was infected and then after a period of treatment has been able to go off treatment without viral rebound," Luzuriaga told CNN.

Infants have been known to be born with HIV and actually lose it on their own. It happens. Not saying that's what happened but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

That sounds a little uncertain, but there was a big development on a vaccine for HIV at University of Western Ontario not too long ago.

I'm pretty sure it's not a cure. Isn't it just a super expensive antiretroviral treatment that slows down the process of HIV turning into aids?

i take human anatomy and i have a doctor (obviously) teaching it. he said that basically they gave the baby like 3 different kinds of medicine, and it was a lets say happy accident that they prob will not be able to do again. also the fact that it was a baby had something to do with it. also they are not sure if it is completely gone yet.
