Cross-posted from "5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV" by @MicroWave@lemmy.world in !health@lemmy.world


Edit if you see this after I deleted it (or if the delete doesn't federate): Didn't see this was from 2023 when I cross-posted it. It's still uplifting news, just not recent enough to merit posting.

Summary

A 53-year-old German man, known as the “Dusseldorf patient,” has become the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure.

Researchers announced that he has shown no detectable virus after stopping treatment four years ago, following a stem cell transplant performed to treat cancer.

This high-risk procedure replaces the immune system and has previously cured four other HIV patients, all with donors carrying a rare HIV-resistant mutation.

While not a viable option for widespread use, these cases provide valuable insights for developing safer and more accessible HIV cures.
