Doctors are planning further tests on a British man whose body has reportedly cured itself of HIV without treatment.

Two Sunday newspapers report that Andrew Stimpson, 25 and from London, was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 2002 but found to be clear in October 2003.

Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust, which carried out the tests, has asked him to undergo more. He said his apparent recovery was a "miracle".

HIV experts say his case could help to reveal more about the disease.


I think I'm one of the luckiest people alive
Andrew Stimpson

There have been anecdotal accounts before from Africa of people shaking off the HIV virus, but the evidence in this case, as reported in the News of the World and the Mail on Sunday, appears to be conclusive, BBC health correspondent Adam Brimelow said.

Mr Stimpson said: "There are 34.9 million people with HIV globally and I am just one person who managed to control it, to survive from it and to get rid of it from my body.

"For me that is unbelievable - it is a miracle. I think I'm one of the luckiest people alive."

Mr Stimpson told the newspapers that he became depressed and suicidal after being told he was HIV-positive but remained well and did not require medication.

Further tests

Some 14 months later he was offered another test by doctors, which came back negative.

He sought compensation but has apparently been told there is no case to answer because there was no fault with the testing procedure.

Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare Trust have asked to conduct more tests on Mr Stimpson both for his benefit and for other patients.

He has told the papers he would do anything he could to help find a cure.

I'm really not sure where this topic goes so I'll post it here. I'm getting ready to restart my Ruby Bullet hunt and I was looking it up again in the item database. Why does it say "ultimate rare" next to its name?

Holliness Armor w/4 slots
Ogre/Power++
Ogre/Power
Dragon/HP
God/Arm

OR

Guardian Armor w/3 slots
Ogre/Power++
Dragon/HP
God/Arm

I'm trying to decide which to use with my RAmar.

Who called it, eh?

You guys told me they would never make FPS PSO but how about that. THEY DID!

I kinda want this game now... PSU looks really good....

I don't have many good items for trade right now (I haven't been playing too long), but my generous friend from school (who has been playing since PSO came out) decided to be nice to me and give me some PD and a couple PS (legit) I was wondering if someone wanted to trade.

Wants (no extra special needed on anything)
S-Rank Twin
Hildeblue's Head (or Cane)
Pinkal Card
Ice Staff: Dagon

1st things 1st i want to ensure every 1 that reads this that it was offline, not online.


right well somethin weird happend. i was offline and i was playin in my m8s house on the gc. my character was transfered to his memory card and when i tried to send it backto my meory card it send somethin like "unable to find character location" meening it couldnt b transfered back. at this point i was about to loose a character anbout lv115 so as u can amadgin i wasnt very happy. i said to myself i know i can still keep the character on my memory card but i will lose all the items on it (gd items btw) so i traded another of my characters over to get the items from my character that i was bout to loose. i got all the items from it. so i had saved my character on my memory card and i took the items wth another character and saved them. when i looked at the character on my memory card i notice he still had the items somehow.

he should have lost em. so basikly i had 2 copys of the character on 2 diff memory card (he was deleted 2 btw.i didnt want anther of him) and i had 2 copys of every item he had now. at least i had another asuka lol. but same time im confuzzeled.
any of u know how this happend. it proof that cloneing can happen offline. though if any of u dupe things i would still not recomend trryin to copy what just happend even 2 me. nothin against u, u just shouldnt clone stuff. peeps work hard to get gd items and i got a psycho wand this mornin YAY! no 1 will belive me. only reason peeps couold belive me is coz im not online on it.

1 more thing. i have a question. what happens if u have cloned items on ur character. my m8s memory card erased7 times (only pso data) and he had cloned items on it. not it doesnt erase coz he has only legit items. makesme wonder
