HIV remission for babies with early treatment

In a proof-of-concept study with more than 400 babies born with HIV it was found that many who received antiretroviral therapy (ART) within 48 hours after their birth seem to be HIV free without the need for life long treatment. Normally, for adults the virus returns after a month when ART is stopped.
