The white blood cells aren't the problem, the problem is that the white blood cells can't make antibodies for AIDS, due to its highly irregular surface.

Anyways to be on-topic, hopefully this "cure" should be distributed faster than the virus.

The transplant treatment itself, given only to late-stage cancer patients, kills up to 30% of patients. While scientists are drawing up research protocols to try this approach on other leukemia and lymphoma patients, they know it will never be widely used to treat AIDS because of the mortality risk.

Am I the only person who noticed this? Transplant of bone marrow is not an ideal solution. Beyond this and the pain that can come from the surgery as has been discussed, it's probably expensive as hell, so no way will it be available where it is most needed. Is this a breakthrough? Yes. Is it the breakthrough? No.

Can't they transplant cells from these supposedly immune people and inject into others where the cells would then reproduce causing you to have at least some immunity but not completely? or am I understanding wrong?

Read up. It's not an easy thing to do.

I'm reluctant to believe that story is as good as they make it to be.

If it were so, then the thing would be all over the place, not just WSJ.

Ok so far i'm reading they basically have to be immune AND the marrow has to be nearly identical.....interesting. Still a breakthrough nonetheless. Hopefully there's more people with this immunity than we think so theres a wide arrange of marrows to donate and narrow down AIDS. Hmmmm I'll read on.
