No you didn't. A doctor at UMC administered a treatment as prescribed by a researcher at Johns Hopkins. The UMC doctor did nothing more then act as a go between. But of course, go ahead and beat your chest.

No matter what (cancer, aids, etc) SEC schools are some of the most advanced research institutions out there. Once people start looking at what schools are doing instead of ridiculous "rankings" like US News, people will realize that there are SEVERAL "great" schools in the SEC who put out a ton of great research and educational opportunities.
Rankings like us news and world report don't consider "academics" at all. They just play the numbers game.

A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn't diagnosed until she was in labor.
"I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and deserved our best shot," Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby's blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children's Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child "functionally cured," meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven't been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud's team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. "Maybe we'll be able to block this reservoir seeding," Persaud said
Well according to this quote it actually seems like the UMMC doctor decided to do this by herself and that the doctor from john Hopkins just investigated it to see if it was true and the perform further research to see if this could be used in other cases ...
So yeah your wrong.

Nice try, but no.

Nice try but your incorrect facts make you seem really mad

actually the real work in this 'cure' was put in the the UAB CFAR (Center for Aids Research), which invented the modern Aids treatments that reduce virus load in the blood to undetectable and untransmitable levels. All that was done in the case of the baby was to flood the system with massive doses of these drugs early on before the virus could set up dormancy in the memory t-cells, where the treatments cant reach. Its just a mild extension of the current treatments. There is a ton of work going on with cancer drugs that seem to reactivate the dormant viruses, which allows the drug cocktail to reach them.
