A London man appears to be free of the AIDS virus after a stem cell transplant, the second success including the 'Berlin patient,' doctors report
Timothy Ray Brown poses for a photograph, Monday, March 4, 2019, in Seattle. Brown, also known as the"Berlin patient," was the first person to be cured of HIV infection, more than a decade ago.
The latest case "shows the cure of Timothy Brown was not a fluke and can be recreated," said Dr. Keith Jerome of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who had no role. The case was published online Monday by the journal Nature and will be presented at an HIV conference in Seattle. With the right kind of donor, his doctors figured, the London patient might get a bonus beyond treating his cancer: a possible HIV cure.
That didn't happen with the London patient. There is still no trace of the virus after 18 months off the drugs.
