It is possible that this guy could have cured himself of HIV. There are a number of possibilities...
1) He was infected with a weakened serotype of HIV. 2) He has some unusual CCXR gene polymorphisms or some other gene defect leading to reduced ability of HIV to replicate, or the ability to clear the virus.
It is possible the original test was wrong. However, in virtually all labs I know of, on a positive test there is a repeat and follow up test done. This normally a western blot. So, the odds of the result being wrong is exceedingly low.
If this is for real... this guy is the luckiest son of a bitch alive.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but, doesn't GCHQ work for Her Majesty's Government? As an organisation with access to tens of billions of dollars worth of the biggest iron, the most advanced research and development programs, as well as having some of the most gifted mathematicians and cryptographers on earth, as well as their partners in the National Security Agency in the US and the Defence Signals in Australia... I think they can do 90 days. I think they could probably do 5 days. Tops.
No, I think the 90 days is to follow up on human intel matters... that's what takes the time.
We're talking about the difference between life and death here. 911 is a vital service, not only in the US, but almost everywhere on this earth. People need to have the confidence that when they dial the emergency number that they'll be connected to a service centre that can then either help them, or route the call to the particular service they ened.
The notion that it is ok for people to decide that they don't want 911 access is stupid. You could save $4! Wow! Imagine you're young, fit and healthy. Nothing bad's going to happen to you, right? so why need it? Suddenly, you get an awful pain in your lower right abdomen. Dial 911. Nice message telling you to ring the service centre to enable this option. Too fucking late.
I've been in an emergency (on my own). Let me tell you dialing 000 in Australia, knowing it would be picked up by an experienced ambulance operator, was without a doubt the happiest moment of my life. That quick response, the magnificent paramedics and a surgical team saved my life.

Over regulation? No. Simple common sense.
