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.
quote:
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.
