Happy Saturday everyone! One more week until spring break, until then, here are some of the headlines you might have missed. 

Happening in the World: For only the second time in recent history, a patient has appeared to have been cured of HIV. The individual, nicknamed the “London patient,” had Hodgkin’s lymphoma and received bone marrow transplants via a donor with the CCR5 mutation in May 2016, where they received immunosuppressive drugs. The London patient has stopped taking their anti-HIV medication since September 2017 and is only the second person to have remained virus-free a year after stopping. Doctors and researchers are hopeful, as the first patient, the Berlin patient, almost died as a result of the treatment, that a cure may be is in reach. (NY Times)

Happening in the US: On Friday, the twenty-eight person U.S. Women’s Soccer Team filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer. The players report that the discrimination has affected their paychecks, where they play, how often they play, when they train, what medical treatment they receive, and more. For years, the Women’s Soccer Team have brought attention to gaps between the Women’s and Men’s soccer team. One of the starkest differences can be seen through compensation, where the 32 Men’s soccer teams have a bonus pool of $400 million, while the 24 women’s teams have $30 million, only 7.5% of the Men’s pool.
