Whoa. This is really cool. It seems like once the stem cell transplant procedure is made more safe, and the HIV-resistant cells are replicated, this is actually a way to cure people of aids. And it makes a lot of sense.

Any biology people here able to shed light on the damage this will do to your immune system? For example, when you get vaccinated, where does the information for how to fight that disease get stored? In DNA or somehow elsewhere? It wouldn't be lost hopefully.

I imagine that was taken from when the treatment was basically finished. Now that it's been 2 years his physicians feel comfortable saying that he is officially cured.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. That bone marrow condition is, as the article said, absurdly rare, so unless we find a way to mass produce that mutation somehow, these kinds of cases will be the exception and not the rule. Still, it's a nice thing to know.

We're making progress, at least.


"Mass produce that mutation somehow"? Isn't breeding stem cells mass producing the mutation?

Can you imagine being that guy a few years ago, being told that you have both cancer and HIV and now you have a (apparently) positive prognosis? Unbelievable and this is definitely a step in the right direction, obviously you can't use this exact method of treatment for everyone but it opens so many avenues of study.

It's an extremely dangerous procedure that's extremely difficult to find a match for. Really, it's just more of a lucky break for someone who's had the misfortune of getting both leukemia and HIV

The key is the total body irradiation/chemo. Basically they destroyed his entire immune system (where HIV lives) and restarted his immune system using someone else' stem cells. They chose someone practically immune to HIV, so now all the WBC's running through his body are immune to HIV. I think the last step isn't 100% necessary, any stem cells might have worked, but getting stem cells from someone with this mutation increases the likelihood of a cure.

I thought they found a cure for HIV back in 2008.

Seriously quite cool though.

Seriously, this is awesome, no matter how unpractical the solution is for now.

That's very good news! Like it was said now we know that HIV can be indeed eradicated from the human body. A little hope just emerged.

Woah, this is pretty cool. It may not be a viable solution for every patient with HIV, but it's definitely a step in the right direction
