Doctors say they want to investigate the case of a British man with HIV who apparently became clear of the virus.Now, you know the right wing will use this to show the hand of God has stepped in, and you also know there are plenty of crackpots who are going to think it's alright to have wanton unsafe sex again.
Scotsman Andrew Stimpson, 25 was diagnosed HIV-positive in 2002 but was found to be negative in October 2003.
Mr Stimpson, from London, said he was "one of the luckiest people alive".
Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust confirmed the tests were accurate but were unable to confirm Mr Stimpson's cure because he had declined to undergo further tests.
A statement from the trust said: "This is a rare and complex case. When we became aware of Mr Stimpson's HIV negative test results we offered him further tests to help us investigate and find an explanation for the different results.
"So far Mr Stimpson has declined this offer."
A trust spokeswoman added: "We urge him, for the sake of himself and the HIV community, to come in and get tested.
"If he doesn't feel that he can come to Chelsea and Westminster then he should please go to another HIV specialist."
There have been anecdotal accounts before from Africa of people shaking off the HIV virus.
I pray that we can all take a middle road here and find out what has happened.
