hmm saw this on the news the other night - but really the news story is ahead of the science. They've not done all their millions of tests yet.
The virus does tend to go quiet and "hide" for 10 years or so after first entering the body, but I presume the antibodies continue being found during this time. They never actually found the virus in him... It is possible that he picked up a miniscule enough amount that his body Could deal with it effectively, or some chance thing killed it off..
Still definately interesting and worth watching the investigation, assuming he allows the studies to happen, as he doesn't seem to have yet.
