Is victory in fight against HIV in sight?

ON MARCH 4, a man in London, became the second person to be "cured" of HIV. Chai Knows, a popular science micro blog account, comments:

Eighteen months after the patient received his last treatment, he is virus-free. His doctor has advised him not to take any more medicine and to remain under observation.

If it is still too early to say he has been cured, it is at least safe to say he is "almost cured".
