Video coverage of San Francisco awards to Dr. Hütter

CBS5.com: "Three years ago, a doctor from Berlin performed a stem cell transplant that likely cured a man's HIV. Now California researchers hope to advance the doctor's research.

On the steps of City Hall in San Francisco, top dignitaries honored a young doctor from Germany, and for very good reason. Dr. Gero Hütter may have found a way to cure patients of HIV infections and AIDS."

The awards and ceremony to honor the work of Dr. Gero Hütter were organized by the AIDS Policy Project. The patient, a U.S. citizen treated in Berlin, has been free of detectable HIV for about three years so far.
