Good news!
But refering to earlier Nature news article "Live-in bugs fight HIV" (http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060116/full/060116-4.html) by Mark Peplow, drugs may be quite cheap in future leading to resurgence. There should be continuous effort to bring psychological change.

There is still no drug that could fight AIDS, am I right? All of them are just immune stimulators or something of that kind.
