Last week I posted on news reports of  the remarkable, if nascent, efforts to create a new HIV treatment. The proposed therapy is inspired by a man treated in Germany and apparently cured by stem cell transplant – and who, while now identified, has been called “The German Patient” by doctors treating him. Two reporters took issue with my declaration they fell significantly short by not including word that there was a somewhat similar case, and also called  “The German Patient,” in AIDS history.

I’ve amended the post – scroll down, or go directly to it to read more.
