This patient got the treatment several years ago and the doctors need to give him time to see if the HIV will ever come back. I really hope that this holds and this killer disease is finally beaten

But I guess the procedure is quite expensive. For the first few years it will only be affordable to guys in the western countries.

True true, but it also opens up possibilities. It is like the penicillin moment - knowing that the disease can be beaten, and armies of scientists begin looking closely at the already identified weak link in the virus. Before long, there are several ways of treating the illness.
