A 9-month-old baby who was born in California with the HIV virus that leads to AIDS may have been cured as a result of treatments that doctors began just four hours after her birth.“The child ... has become HIV-negative,” said Dr Deborah Persaud, a pediatrics specialist with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, at a conference in Boston. The child’s identify was not disclosed.
The California case is the second, following an instance in Mississippi in which doctors may have brought HIV in a newborn into remission by administering antiretroviral drugs in the first hours of life.
