This is a really big deal, with potential creation of a therapeutic HIV Vaccine protocol. While currently only 5 of 24 ppl were potentially cured (right now, they are only saying viral load has reduced to zero), this is dramatically more than we have ever seen out of any therapeutic vaccine. This shows some very true promise, with potential work it might get the cure rate up even higher. I can't understate how much of a big deal this is. Think, there are five people, who have potentially been cured of HIV.

That's amazing. Even if those odds never "improve," you're right--20% have been cured of a deadly, fatal illness. And five real lives, real people, with real loved ones, not only have hope now that they may not have had before--they have real lives to lead, and things to contribute. How great is that?

This is fantastic news. Very hopeful that some day we can eradicate this terrible disease. Thanks for the article, Pedro.
