36. It's not that simple, I'm afraid.
What are they going to do? Try to infect him repeatedly to see the result? That ain't gonna happen. If it was a big mistake, then they just gave a man HIV. Too much risk.

Without other cases to compare what he and others like him have in common, there is no medically acceptable way of figuring out how he seroconverted to negative.

Even the CCR5-delta32 mutation was found by comparing what people who appeared to have some resistance to infection with HIV had in common genetically. Without more than a single case, all we have is an abberation.
