Good edit.
And it's the second person to be cured.

 

[Exterous]

Thats great news for the child although this:

But the mother hadn't had any prenatal care

the girl and mother disappeared when she was about 18 months old, Gay says. They missed several appointments

make me a little concerned for the environment shes growing up in...

I read that as "Timothy Ray, brown man thought to be..." and wondered why his race was important.

I need either less coffee, or more coffee... not sure which.

everyone's got AIDS!

Can they even say that?

[on pre-natal preventative care]This regimen has reduced mother-to-child transmission from 25% to 30% — in the days before anti-retroviral therapy — to less than 2% today, Gay says.

There was a chance the child would have been born HIV free anyway and never any indication that the child was infected from the start.

The doctor's name is Gay.

Apparently, Gays cure AIDS. Take that, Republicans.
