TEXTO:
A baby born infected with human immunodeficiency
virus in Los Angeles, who received treatment within a
few hours after birth, is still showing no signs of the
disease a year later, doctors announced at the
[5] Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections
in Boston. The child’s mother was not taking her HIV
medication while she was pregnant.
Although it’s too early to know for certain whether
the child is just in remission, doctors say the baby’s
[10] vitals are displaying differently compared with patients
with suppressed HIV. The baby is currently in foster care.
This is the second baby doctors believe to be cured
of the disease with very early treatment. Another child
from Mississippi received similar treatment when her
[15] mother was discovered to be HIV-positive during labor.
The child is now 3 1/2 years old and appears to be cured,
even though her mother was not administering the baby
her HIV medication at follow-up.
