The startling case of an Aids patient who was cured after undergoing a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia is stirring new hope that researchers might someday find a cure for Aids.

Doctors have not been able to detect the virus in his blood for more than 600 days, despite his having ceased all conventional Aids medication.
