Emory Doctor Suggests Caution On "Cure" In Infant Exposed to HIV

Baby Cured Of HIV Needs More Study, Emory Doctors Say  by Gracie Bonds Staples.  The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  March 6, 2013.

Dr. Jeffrey Lennox expressed the view that it usually takes several years to determine that a cure had been realized.  The infant has been tracked for only a few months.  The director of the family and youth clinic at Grady thought that the case was probably an "outlier" and that more research was needed.  The article contains a survey of the progress that has been made in preventing transmission of HIV from mother to child.
