The First Person to Be Cured Successfully of HIV With Stem Cell |
After an experiment stem cell treatment in 2007 (stem-cell transplantation),
Timothy Ray Brown has been completely cured of HIV. He is known as the
“Berlin Patient” and this year medical examination has showed that the
HIV is gone.
It
is worth mentioning that when healthy people take antiretrovirals (this
is a drug which is used to treat HIV) their chances of becoming
infected with HIV gets declined by 73%.
Since
this HIV/AIDS cure breakthrough, Medical scientists and experts have
been treating infected patients across Europe and beyond with a
combination of chemotherapy and dialysis with a great success rate, but
the treatment takes months and can completely destroy the patient's
immune system.
