An American man is still HIV-free more than three years after receiving a stem cell transplant. This is the first ever cure of virus thats causes AIDS. However this is used by a highly ricky technique. The man is known as "berlin Patient" this cure would not work for most of the 33million people with HIV worldwide. This is a operation of using a rare genetic mutation that is naturally resistant to HIV. However, the process is not easy. Hence they are still researching on another alternative to replicate the same process in the cells without going through the same risky process.

There's a slight success in finding cure for HIV. This is better than none despite the risk. This is a great start for the researchers. I believe that if this method can be improve with less risk involved. This will allow those that's living with HIV to be cured and they would not die from it. Furthermore, if they're cured from HIV, they will not be isolated from the society. When a cure is found, non HIV positive will not get contracted from this disease. Lesser people will be drag into being HIV positive. However, everyone should still be cautious. Even if a cure is found, there could be another more deadly diseases which will evolve from this. As when a cure is found, one day, the diseases will be immune to the medicine. Everyone should protect themselves. By using safety precaution, this will lesser the risk of getting the diseases. If we're taking precaution in the first place, lesser people will die from AIDS.
