Signs of HIV in Child Thought to Have Been Cured

Disappointing news from Mississippi as health officials announce a child who was thought to have been cured of H.I.V. through the use of an aggressive treatment regimen is now showing signs of infection. The girl’s apparent cure had raised hopes of being able to reverse infections in newborns and perhaps even adults. The New York Times says this development will likely affect plans for a clinical trial involving as many as 450 babies.
