In medical news, a San Francisco man has reportedly become the first person ever to be cured of AIDS. Doctors say 45-year-old Timothy Ray Brown’s HIV was eradicated after he received a bone marrow transplant from a person that had a rare HIV immunity. The transplant was intended to combat a resurgence of leukemia, which Brown has been cured of as well. Doctors are unsure why the treatment was so successful, but they will begin clinical trials next year.
