Bone marrow {transplant} 'frees men of HIV drugs' (BBC)
By James Gallagher
Health and science reporter, BBC News
Two patients have been taken off their HIV drugs after bone-marrow transplants seemed to clear the virus from their bodies, doctors report.
One of the patients has spent nearly four months without taking medication with no sign of the virus returning.
The team at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in the US, caution that it is far too soon to talk about a cure as the virus could return at any point.
The findings were presented at the International Aids Society Conference.

Not really a general cure ... read the article carefully.
