deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired
Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) that has
eluded
the world for decades has finally been found...

AIDS virus 15 months after treatment was
stopped.
In Boston, United States, two HIV-
positive
men who were given bone-marrow
transplants for cancer also had no detectable

trace of virus following stem-cell
transplants.
Dr. Timothy Henrich of Harvard Medical School, United States, on Wednesday
reported that research in the fight
against
AIDS has at last produced evidence of
