LONDON (AP) — AIDS experts called for more tests on a British man who claims his body has rid itself of the virus that causes AIDS.

Andrew Stimpson, 25, told two British newspapers that he tested positive for HIV in August 2002, but that tests 14 months later came back negative. He told the Mail on Sunday, "I can't help wondering if I hold the cure for AIDS."

Stimpson also was interviewed by News of the World, which said it paid for the story — a common practice in Britain — but declined to reveal how much. The Mail on Sunday could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare Trust, which conducted Stimpson's HIV tests, confirmed he had had a positive test followed by a negative one, but would not say this meant he was cured.

"This is a rare and complex case," the hospital said in a statement. "When we became aware of Mr. Stimpson's HIV negative test results we offered him further tests to help us investigate and find an explanation for the different results.

"So far Mr. Stimpson has declined this offer."

Stimpson told the Mail on Sunday he was happy to submit to further tests.

"This appears to be a highly unusual case and without further tests it really is impossible to draw any conclusions for people living with HIV," said Deborah Jack, chief executive of the National AIDS Trust.

Whats AIDS?

depends on whether this person is really serious or not.

saintsation said:

according to the last paragraph there are now drugs against aids that are similar to the way the delta 32 gene reacts
(it's still in a relatively early stage , tho')

There have been people who have been "cured" the risks involved are very dangerous. Maybe his first test was erroneous.

shausler said:

Point well taken.

Who that can spell it doesnt know of it.
Ur right.


Tell him to get in the the penalty box.

the first test was probalby wrong.

Please don't bait people on here

superspaceboy said:

He said that too - he was planning to take action against them on that basis, but they insist that the results of both tests are accurate. It seems he has agreed to further HIV tests, but not to anything else. I hope he does allow other tests to be carried out. It may seem too much to ask somebody to offer themselves as a living guinea-pig to science, but if you thought you might carry the cure, wouldn't you ?

AsylumUtopia said:

Im not so sure his first test want a bit wonky to begin with.

I bet all the people who chipped in for him to go to Disneyland are pissed now

yeah well had that been the case, maybe my uncle and my best friend would've beat it...

AsylumUtopia said:

Totally. Not long before, this guy thought he was afflicted with a non-cureable disease. Now he seems to be in the clear, and "can't help wonder if he holds the cure". He's got to do something. I mean why offer this story up at all if you had less than honorable intentions? I'm sure he'd be compensated quite well for his time. Not to mention the overwhelming gratitude from sufferers worldwide. I just hope this is for real (isn't the News of the World one of those "I MADE OUT WITH ELVIS' ALIEN LOVE CHILD" RAGS?), and doesn't get withheld from the public simply because the money ain't in the cure.

Out of all the millions of Aids tests that have been carried out, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd screwed up at least one.

superspaceboy said:

what are the risks involved that are very dangerous that make them "cured"? never heard of this.

brownsugar said:

Nobody has ever been cured of Hiv/Aids.

retina said:

thats what i thought. once you got it you got it.

brownsugar said:

That's right. But since it is such a horrifying disease we automatically get a bunch of urban legends about bone marrow transplants, magical genes, promiscuity as treatment and what have you. When we're under pressure it's in our nature to make hopes turn into probability and then into fact, all in our minds.

retina said:

the delta 32 story is true , it's scientifically studied !

Dewrede said:

It's one theory of many that basically speculates if there's a gene that blocks the infection (at least in a certain percentage of the cases). Nobody knows for sure how true it is. Either way, it doesn't mean you get cured, it just means you don't get infected in the first place.

i am a little mystified as to HOW he did it, something not mentioned in the article.

encouraging, but hardly worth holding my breath over... especially as there have been cure scams throughout history for most diseases

yeah , i know that (replying to your latest sentence)

maybe he's been treated with the new drugs that are similar to the way the gene acts (last paragraph of the article)

I remember reading years ago that some people who had aids in Africa were later found not to.
