The child, who was born with an HIV virus, is completely cured from infection, reported physicians from Los-Angeles at the 21st annual conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston. Previously, the doctors from Mississipi reported about such a case of complete recovery of child from congenital HIV.

Both babies were born from HIV-infected mothers, that did not receive trteatment. And both babies started to receive aggressive antiretroviral therapy several hours after their birth. The girl from Mississipi received treatment 18 months, then the doctors lost contact with her. When they found her again 10 months later, there was no virus in her blood.

The girl from los-Angeles born in April 2013 was under the supervision of the doctors all the time. Despite the fact, that doctors did not detect virus in her blood already on the 6th day of the treatment, she completed the standard course of therapy against HIV, because physicians were not sure, was it a cure or just a remission.

Now they can say with certainty that the girl is cured.
