Second HIV baby may be in remission after early treatment
Doctors at a Boston AIDS conference reported a second infant possibly cured of HIV after treatment begun just four hours after birth. The Los Angeles girl, born last April, shows HIV tests suggesting remission, though experts caution no cure is confirmed. The earlier Mississippi baby is now approximately 3% with no treatment for two years.

Gene edited blood cells offer potential HIV cure approach
Scientists report modifying HIV patients blood cells to resist infection, aiming for a functional cure. Led by Dr Carl June at the University of Pennsylvania results published in NEJM show promise from modifying patients own cells, inspired by a Berlin patient with donor immunity. Sangamo Biosciences develops a treatment to block the CCR5 docking protein.

WHO proposes 5 percent sugar intake limit worldwide
The World Health Organization drafts a guideline reducing daily sugar to 5 percent of total calories, from 10 percent, after reviewing 9,000 studies. The target includes added sugars and those in honey syrups and fruit juices, not natural fruit sugars. Dr. Francesco Branca calls 5 percent aspirational with 10 percent more realistic.
