AIDS cure

Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin patient," was the first person to be cured of HIV infection, more than a decade ago. Researchers say a second patient has lived 18 months after stopping HIV treatment without sign of the virus after a stem-cell transplant. But such transplants are dangerous, cannot be used widely and have failed in other patients. (AP photo/Manuel Valdes)
