The first person believed to have been cured of AIDS says he is cured of the disease forever, despite researchers finding traces of the virus in his body. Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the 'Berlin patient,' says doctors have told him he's 'cured of AIDS and will remain cured.' Mr Brown's case was a landmark medical advancement that researchers say could pave the way for future treatment of the insidious disease for its 34 million sufferers worldwide. Mr Brown had a blood stem cell transplant in 2007 to treat leukemia, using a donor with the rare 'delta 32' mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. Doctors declared him 'cured' soon after. The 'delta 32' mutation occurs in less than 1 percent of people with Northern European ancestry, with Swedes being the most likely to carry the gene. Timothy Ray Brown congratulated by Sharon Stone However, researchers in California recently found traces of HIV in his tissues, leading to ...

Generally, politicians and those in the corridors of power are believed to live a life of indulgence and abuse. They survive by covering up their tracts or using the pegs and trimmings attached to their offices to prevent their misdeeds going to the public domain. Threats and intimidation which they sometimes make good are tools they use in whipping whistle blowers including the press into line. Sometimes, they run out of luck as what they do in the dark gets to be seen and known on the housetop. That’s exactly the case with the chilling, gory and somehow thrilling revelation of Comfort and Maria (not real names) who earlier on worked with Akwa Ibom State Ushering Group as Ushers. That group stinks with allegation of séxual pervasion not known in recent history and Akwa Ibom State government can only save its face if it calls for an immediate probe into what happens at her protocol department with a view to punishing the culprit(s) and restoring sanity and decency there. As news of t...

Man Saws Off Own Foot to Avoid Going to Work Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays. Reuters reports that an unemployed Austrian man was so dead-set against returning to work he lopped off his left foot. The unidentified 56-year-old was set to meet with a labor board to evaluate his fitness to return to the Austrian workforce on Monday when the mutilation occurred. The victim (assailant?) reportedly set his left leg atop an electric saw in his home workshop and went to town, completely severing the foot just above the ankle. Not content to leave well enough alone, the man then hobbled/bled to his kitchen and threw his foot in the oven before calling for an ambulance. Doctors were unable to reattach the foot. While his dedication and thoroughness are commendable—who thinks to cook their own foot to prevent its reattachment?—you'd think he could have just gotten a doctor's note or, you know, sucked it up. It's called "work" and not ...

A program that gave away 200,000 female condoms to women in Washington, DC prevented 23 HIV infections, according to a study published in the journal AIDS and Behavior . Why female condoms rather than the more common male variety? The study authors wrote, "It is critical that there are HIV prevention interventions entirely under the control of women, and female condoms are the only such woman initiated intervention currently on the open market." But will women actually use them? An AIDS Healthcare Foundation worker demonstrates a female condom. (AP / Amy Gutierrez) Women I talked to were skeptical. Said one, "I wouldn't use a female condom unless I had to. I prefer contraception to be relatively discreet, aesthetically speaking — whether as unseen as an IUD or the Pill, as removed from the moment as a diaphragm, and/or as clingy and sort-of camouflaged as a male condom — and my perceptio...
