I know you are young...

...and you don't really know what you are talking about, but no, you were not cured.

'Miracle'

Mr Stimpson, who is originally from Largs in Ayrshire, 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 News of the World and Mail on Sunday that he became depressed and suicidal after being told he was HIV-positive but remained well and did not require medication.

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.

Back in the late 1980's people would take the HIV test and get a positive diagnosis, only to be re-tested and find out that they were, in fact, negative. It was called a "false positive" diagnosis, for obvious reasons. That was why it was a standard policy in HIV clinics one would take the test, return for the diagnosis a few weeks later, and be retested while being counseled - regardless of the results.

But let's think about this logically, shall we?

You got tested, it said positive. The doc's said it was too soon, as you were a healthy young man (which is usually the case), to take drugs (which is also usually the case).

14 months later you had another test done (uhm... why? but lets leave that one alone) and got a negative results? Fine.

This doesn't mean you were cured. Unless of course one or more of the penises you took up the ass in the last 14 months has a magical additive.

And if that's the case, let me know who had that magic penis will you? I'm a bit tired of taking all these pills for the last 12 years or so.
