HOORRAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

Congratulations world, AIDS has basically been cured.

Check it out here:

A quote from the article:

"On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.

"Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the 'Berlin Patient,' received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing 'strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved.'"

And just so long as you're okay with stem cell research (or if you can fake it for a few hours), you're invited to the worldwide party.

So turn on the music, crank up the volume, and pound some Bacardi, planet Earth. We're one step closer to invincibility!
