I know we haven't looked at the AIDS crisis yet, but I think these stories will be relevant to that part of class.

HIV/AIDS News
Thought I'd share this exciting news from a few days ago about the second recorded case of an HIV patient being cured. I think the story serves as a reminder that even though the AIDS epidemic has declined, the disease remains an important issue today. This is also evident from another story a few months ago in which President Trump dramatically downsized the White House AIDS council and then restaffed it with new appointees.

I found this post interesting, one, because I'm surprised we have not discussed HIV/AIDS at all in the course, but two, because I was shocked that I did not hear about this news of a cured patient at all in the media. Until I read this post I was still under the assumption that there is no "cure" only ways to delay the outcome of the disease.
