patient zero??

When I saw this story on cable channel Euro News I have to admit, it was shocking and almost unbelievable.

Did Scotsman Andrew Stimpson, 25, really kick HIV without the aid of meds?

It seems that ,somehow, he did.

Stimpson was diagnosed in 2002 and just under a year later his tests came back negative. Not a trace of the virus in his body.

Stimpson has told newspapers that he would do what ever he could to help find a cure, but at the same time has refused to go in for more tests.

This anomaly begs the question...Does this young man posses in his genetic make up a cure for HIV/AIDS?
