This woman in England suffered from anxiety & post-traumatic stress disorder • She wanted her therapy dog which helped her to stay calm to be present during her birth • She didn't ask for her husband, but asked for her dog Barney • The dog was present in LR when she gave birth on 28th January 2013
There was a lot of backlash among British doctors who said it is unhygienic. The dog might communicate diseases. • “We should not open the door to every barnyard creature even when the mom-to-be says that she would like to have her pet at her birth”
But can we make a case for some, such as this woman who has a special relationship with her pet? • Or a blind woman who wants her guide dog?
“If we can make a case for letting men in the labor room, why can we not let a dog or a cat be there? - Art Caplan NYU Langone Medical Center, US

First ‘Functional Cure’ in HIV • Baby delivered on 03.03.13 at 35 wks to HIV + Mother who had no prior anti retroviral Trt • At 30 hours of age, the infant was started on anti-HIV drugs • HIV + status confirmed by PCR on the 2nd day • On discharge 1 wk later, combination therapy started
On Day 29, the infant’s viral load had fallen to < 50 copies of HIV per ml • five months later, blood sample revealed undetectable HIV levels (less than 20 copies/mL) and no HIV-specific antibodies. • Ultrasensitive viral RNA and DNA tests revealed extremely low viral levels. • Presently the child is on no antiretroviral therapy with no identifiable levels of HIV. • Conclusion: Antiretroviral therapy within the very first few days of life to infants infected with HIV through their mothers via pregnancy or delivery may achieve a “cure”.
French researchers reported 14 adults who experienced a similar remission from HIV. • The patients had been off HIV medications for up to 10 years. • "I know that the U.S. term is 'functional cure’, in France, we speak about 'remission.' … The patient controls the virus, but they still have the virus." -Rouzioux
