Scotsman world's first to beat HIV?
An AFP newswire article, via PhysOrg.com, reports that:
Doctors urged a British man to come forward for further tests Sunday after he claimed to have become the first person in the world to become clear of the HIV virus. Andrew Stimpson was diagnosed as HIV-positive in August 2002 but tests 14 months later showed the virus had completely disappeared from his body, according to hospital officials.
The 25-year-old, from Largs, on Scotland's west coast, told two British newspapers he felt special and blessed to have been "cured" and pledged to help medics in their fight against the condition, which usually leads to AIDS.
