Telegraph | Medics appeal to patient over HIV 'miracle cure' claims

Doctors have urged a man to come forward for more tests after he apparently shook off the HIV virus. Andrew Stimpson, 25, was diagnosed as being HIV-positive in August 2002, but 14 months later blood tests gave him the all-clear. Mr Stimpson, from Largs in Ayrshire, told press he felt special and blessed to have been "cured" and said: "I can't help wondering if I hold the cure for Aids." But Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust, who carried out the initial tests, said Mr Stimpson has so far declined to undergo further tests with them.

A hospital spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that he has a positive and a negative test. "I can't confirm with you that he's shaken it off, that he's been cured." She added: "We urge him, for the sake of himself and the HIV community, to come in and get tested." She confirmed Mr Stimpson had subsequently tried to sue the hospital, believing his initial positive test was inaccurate. But he was told there was no case to answer because both tests were correct, she said.
