University Medical Center in Utrecht in The Netherlands has cured HIV in two patients who were both suffering from cancer as well. Both men received a bone marrow transplant and after the transplant there was not a single trace of the HIV virus anymore. They are looking for funds to do further research on this. This is not a large scale treatment, but it does give researchers something to look into.

Wow thanks Obama

Progress!

how reliable is this source anyways

let me donate $5

Sis, it's Dutch National Press, the results were presented at an international aids conference in Africa by the doctor

Is this the same method they used a few years ago? The source is in another language.

I hope this is true, but I doubt it.

Good

!!!
Still though, always a pleasant read progress!

She mentions these are the second and third patient to be cured, that one other patient has been cured before.

Nice.

So 3 people have been cured. They're on to something!

...You'd have like one penny. There's only ever been one case of a person being completely cured of HIV in the past, and that appears to have been using the same method used here, where someone with HIV receives bone marrow stem cells from a donor who possesses a hereditary immunity to HIV. It's not at all a practical cure for widespread use, because the procedure itself can lead to a myriad of complications and the patient will still have to take immunosuppressants for the rest of his life to prevent his body from rejecting the bone marrow, which will, ironically, open him up to more infections and a greater risk for cancer in the future. But it's still fascinating and should hopefully open up more avenues for future research.

Finally some good news.

OMG
