A MAN who tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes Aids, has subsequently shown up negative for the disease in a case that has mystified doctors.
It was claimed last night that Andrew Stimpson, 25, may have shaken off the virus with his own immune system after contracting HIV in 2002.
If proved, the NHS has said the case would be “medically remarkableâ€. It could provide vital information to researchers looking into treatments for HIV and Aids, which has killed about 3,800 people in Britain since the 1980s.
The worldwide annual death toll is more than 3m.
The Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS trust, which treated Stimpson, has said he needs to undergo more tests before it can be established how he apparently conquered HIV.
“These tests were accurate and they were his, but what we don’t know at the moment is why that has happened, and we want him to come back in for more tests,†said a spokeswoman. “It is potentially a fantastic thing.â€

Yes, by going back to the past with a time machine and not having sex with an infected person! :D

A statement from the trust said: "This is a rare and complex case. When we became aware of Mr Stimpson's HIV negative test results we offered him further tests to help us investigate and find an explanation for the different results.
I think I'm one of the luckiest people alive
Andrew Stimpson
Bacteria modified to fight HIV
"So far Mr Stimpson has declined this offer."

IOW they're not letting them test him to see why he managed to get cured.

I don't find somebody's sexual preference funny, personally.

I actually had some sort of long drawn out conversation in my Creative Writing class about how the HIV/AIDS was some how carried to humans when some guy fucked a monkey. Then there were some people who thought that is was a chemical weapon developed by America to kill blacks ( or whatever there argument was to make them seem legit).

Not trying to drift off topic or be a douche, but is Willshire The Mad allowed to post on this old topic?
