The big news on the opening day of the 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2013) was a report about an infant with HIV who started combination antiretroviral treatment very early and now shows no evidence of replication-competent virus. "We equate this to our Berlin Patient," said Deborah Persaud from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It could get us on the road to a cure for HIV-infected children."
