HIV cure #2!!!

Well guys a cure for HIV might have been found, 7 years ago it started with one man , who was infected by HIV , and was given a bone marrow transplant that was not infected and from there on this man was cured. Now another case has come up , 2 years ago a mother gave birth to a little girl in Mississippi . Now this child was born with the virus in her blood. But as soon as she came to this world , 31 hours later she was given medicine to try and fight the virus . Now this happened for 18 months , until the mom never came back . That was when the doctor went to find her and to her surprise the child was virus free.
