Thirty years ago from Sunday, the Centers for Disease Control issued the first report on the emerging AIDS epidemic.
Now, after years of progress in holding back the disease, there is finally an apparent case of one successful cure. CBS News correspondent Hank Plante, with San Francisco affiliate KCBS, reports that 45-year-old Timothy Ray Brown, now living in the Bay Area, tested positive for HIV back in 1995, but now has entered the scientific journals as the first man in world history to have his HIV completely eliminated from his body. It's what doctors call a "functional cure. " He was living in Berlin, Germany, in 2007, dealing with HIV and leukemia, when scientists there gave him a bone marrow, stem cell transplant that had astounding results. "I quit taking my HIV medication on the day that I got the transplant and haven't had to take any since," Brown says, adding that his diseases are effectively gone. Brown says being the first man to be cured of HIV makes him very, very happy.
