It's a good day...For Science!

So the government is going to implode over spending cuts, Russian asteroids are hurtling towards us at fantastic speeds and Michael Bay's non-Teenage, non-Mutant Ninja Turtle reboot is not only back on for some reason, but now stars Megan Fox. But believe it or not, it's not all bad. Check. This. Shit. Out.

Oh, go on, click on it. It's about science!

You didn't click on it did you? Honest to god, if you don't start meeting me half way here, we're going to have problems. Here, I'll summarize: Doctors in Mississippi managed to kick the shit out of HIV. Oh yes, a newborn infected with the virus was given a super-high dose of the drug cocktail used to combat HIV in older patients. Some science happened and now the virus is undetectable in the baby's blood. Undefuckingtectable. Ok, so it's not a cure per se, but it's a couple of years in and the baby is still testing negative.

Babies...I mean what have
 they ever done for us?

I know what your saying: What's the big deal, one baby got cured. When can I bust out the bell bottoms and fish bowl full of keys and have a swinger's party? Wow. First of all, you're a monster. Secondly, this is a totally big deal. 300,000 babies are born with HIV every year and if this new treatment pans out, it will be another stake in the heart for AIDS, you know that thing that (indirectly) kills millions every year and left later generations afraid to have unprotected sex with strangers.

Yeah. that's right, I said it. Next time you see someone who was sexually active in the 1970's, be sure to thank them. Their coke-fuelled, condom-less, free love bullshit is probably why it burns when you pee. Anyway, hurray for science!

Thanks a lot, assholes...
