Talk:Timothy Ray Brown

Notability

"If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate" THIS FROM THE WIKI POLICY

I ARGUES THAT THE EVENT IS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT - A FIRST REAL CURE OF A PREVIOUSLY "UNCURED" DISEASE WITH AN UNDERSTOOD MECHANISM OF CURE AND THAT THE INDIVIDUALS ROLE AND NOTABILITY WITH REFERENCE TO THE EVENT AND THE INDEXING OF REFERABLE TO SOURCES FOR THE INFORMATION ARE OBVIOUS FROM THE SOURCE MATERIAL. THIS SHOULD BE AN ARTICLE WITH A CLICKABLE LINK TO AIDS RESEARCH # IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND SHOULD ALSO BE THE REDIRECT TARGET OF "berlin PATIENT". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.237.194 (talk) 13:41, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

1/10, not 1/1000

I believe people are misreading the map. The text clearly states that by "0.18" they mean 18% prevalence, not 0.18% prevalence. This is a big change. For some reason I cant get the map to load anymore, maybe the Wikipedia edit window interferes with the Javascript, but it's at http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0030339 and google images suggests http://33.media.tumblr.com/3539c23ca067cb7476a3928c12be4c68/tumblr_inline_msikg8IgEm1qz4rgp.jpg is the same image. —Soap— 17:27, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Sexuality

The remarkable and noteworthy part of Timothy Ray Brown's life is that he appears to be the first person in the world to be "cured" of HIV/AIDS. His sexuality is not remarkable or relevant, therefore, I am deleting this section. 173.162.170.106 (talk) 13:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Speculation

There's a heck of a lot of speculation in this article. 97.82.192.76 (talk) 13:11, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Detectable viral load

Some infected immune cells and free viruses may still remain on other side of blood-brain barrier, within brain etc. even after bone marrow transplant and radiation destruction of blood cells treatment. Is this true or not? Are there any tissues within body where infected cells might still remain after leukemia treatment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.61.35.100 (talk) 12:10, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

How did you get rid of it

I have HIV and my numbers are going up on the cd4 cells. The doctor has said that I am going to get read of it for good. How did you do it? What can I do to over come it. Please email me back. 2600:1700:C580:53A0:D862:FE6A:289:97C9 (talk) 03:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
