HIV cure? A second patient is HIV-free after undergoing a bone marrow transplant intended to treat cancer.
A patient in London is HIV-free, doctors announced this week in what appears to be an astounding case.
The London patient, who is remaining anonymous, also underwent chemotherapy. He took antiretroviral therapy drugs for HIV until September of 2017, doctors say. His drug regiment was much less harsh than the only other known patient who was cured of HIV. In a research letter set to publish Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, doctors who treated him say this proves that the Berlin patient cured of HIV in 2007 wasn’t an anomaly and HIV remission is possible.
