Someone posted this link on another website I frequent:

Apparently a stem cell transplant from someone who is immune to AIDS resulted in a 'functional cure'. They can still pass it on but are no longer subject to it's effects. Could be quite a development.
Thankfully nobody is dumb enough to outlaw stem cell research when it can be so useful.
