Today is the anniversary of the announcement of the first man cured of HIV.
For those of us alive in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, a terrifying new disease appeared on the horizon following on the heels of the free love movement and loosened condemnation against premarital sex. The baby boomer generation, the largest yet to ever exist, was young and in its prime. They stretched the boundaries of convention, experimented with sex and drugs, put off marriage and pursued education. It was a sexually charged and exciting time for youth. The future was theirs.
That free-wheeling era marked by the 1960s and 1970s came crashing to an end when AIDS appeared on the scene. Suddenly, you could die a horrible slow death by having sex with the wrong person. At first, nobody really knew how you got it. It would be the early 80s before the actual virus was identified. Then, once identified, there was no way to treat or cure it.
Treatments would appear in the next decade, but no cure.
That changed when 45 year old Timothy Ray Brown of Berlin, a man who tested positive for HIV in 1995, tested completely clean for HIV due to the discovery of an HIV immunity gene he received through a bone marrow stem cell transplant in 2007. Doctors announced he experienced a functional cure to the world on May 16, 2011.
