Doctors in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital have found HIV virus in an AIDS patient’s eyes. This is the first time for Chinese doctors to detect the virus of the fatal disease in human eyes, according to Wednesday’s Beijing Morning Post. The finding tells us even though the blood plasma HIV test is negative, for an AIDS patient, it does not mean he or she was cured because the virus might be in some places else,” said Li Taisheng, an expert with the hospital’s anti-infection department. Li said they found the virus in the aqueous humor sample of a female AIDS patient, who has just had a cataract operation in the hospital.
