Nice post. Researchers in Europe may have also found a way to treat HIV/AIDS with stem cells (they're urging caution while they do more tests) and several years ago, it was discovered that a small percentage of Eastern Europeans had evolved a gene that gave them an increased resistance to viruses like HIV (like the Bubonic Plague, for instance). It will be amazing to see what the next few years bring.

For sure! We live in an amazing period in human history. Science is making massive progress annually. As is technology. It's really astounding when you stop and actually think about all the amazing things we've done - and are on the verge of doing.

Very cool. And syphilis as well... which is much easier to catch, if also much easier to treat provided you know you've got it before it goes too far.

Last time I went to the clinic for my regular testing, they did the "immediate" test. It was pretty cool but almost creepy to watch the results form right before your eyes. It's kind of like taking a pregnancy test.

A marvelous innovation, I wonder how long before it hits the market?
