So...triple blog cred? Yeah. I'm in.

I will admit it. Blood Brother made me cry. I kept willing myself to stay strong, but when the little boy opened his eyes... I lost it.
This documentary was successful in it's purpose- to open our eyes to the crap Rocky goes through practically every single day, and maybe show that anyone can make a difference (Rocky described himself as being "borderline retarded," if he can do these things, so can you).
A few days ago, I came across an article online about a three-year-old girl who was cured of HIV. She is the second person "who is believed to be functionally cured of HIV."
The child was given a larger dose of HIV medication (ART) within the first 30 hours after she was born, which is sooner than most babies with HIV. Anthony Fauci, from the National Institutes of Health, says, "You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure that we've seen."
Unfortunately, the conditions in the areas with the greatest problems with HIV and AIDS do not allow medical services like the article described above. These services are harder to come by, especially if you don't have any money. But it is good to know that there are some advances in finding a cure. If a cure is truly found for newborns with the virus, it will be easier to find a cure for older carriers.
A final note: Leeper- you wanted to know if Rocky Braat is a Christian. After minimal Facebook creeping, I found that he does indeed love Jesus.
