ESL - Written for a reader that has a hard time reading English
N - Written at a normal high school reading level

A cure for HIV? (N)

Article - Early HIV drugs 'functionally cure about one in 10'
Author: James Gallagher

Summary: Scientists have found that 5-15% of people do not have to continue taking drugs to stop the spread of HIV if they are found to have HIV within weeks of infection.  However, most people in the UK do not typically find out they have HIV until 5 years after infection.

Personal reflection: It is encouraging to see that maybe there is something that can slow the spread of this epidemic.  If we can find the reasoning behind the effective remission of the virus, we may be able to help other individuals induce the virus into a remission as well.  Note: HIV is a terrible virus, and there is no "one" way to treat it, as it changes quickly, and drugs can be ineffective from person to person.  It is still advisable to protect oneself from acquiring it as opposed to treating it after infection.
