Granted the actual cure used here is by no means practical or useful to the average HIV positive person but still that is quite an amazing story.

Wow, and yeah, the variables are too great, most likely the man with HIV had good immunity, so the HIV was "invading" the lymphocytes.

The patient wasn't the one immune to HIV, the marrow donor was the immune one.

Thats amazing, Maybe they can go and attempt curing someone there....Although it would be expensive and the enviroment could affect if it works or not.
