She’s the third person ever to be cured of the virus. 🤔 engineering
A leukemia patient in the United States has become the first woman and third person to date to be cured of HIV using a novel transplant method involving umbilical cord blood from a donor, scientists from the University of California Los Angeles and Johns Hopkins UniversityThis could be a major breakthrough, as the new method of transplanting stem cells may be administered to dozens of people every year, potentially heralding a new era for the global HIV epidemic.
In addition, the woman received blood from a close relative to temporarily bolster her immune system while the transplant was settling. The transplant of the stem cells with a rare genetic mutation that blocks HIV invasion was reportedly successful, as the researchers now say that she has been in remission and free of the virus for 14 months, without the need for HIV treatments.
