Doctors seem to have made a breakthrough in the treatment of HIV after they 'cured' a baby girl who was infected with the virus.
The baby girl went through an accelerated programme of medication when she was 30 years old because she got infected by her HIV positive mother during labour.
That action seemed to have blasted the virus into remission and prevented it from taking root in the baby’s cells.
Recently, the now two-years-old baby girl from Mississipi, USA, is process of remission but blood tests showed no signs that the virus was still present. That is known as a 'functional cure.'
Experts say the groundbreaking development paves the way for other children to be treated before the virus takes hold.
