British scientists may have discovered a cure for HIV.
Researchers told the UK's Sunday Times this week that a 44-year-old HIV-positive social worker from London has been found to have no trace of HIV in his cells following an experimental treatment. He is one of 50 patients undergoing the trial.
The treatment is designed to destroy HIV in every part of the body, including dormant cells, according to the report. Scientists said they won't know for several more months whether the disease was permanently, completely removed from his body.
