Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient'

[midlet_guy]

[quote]On the heels of [U]World AIDS Day[/U] comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.
Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal [I]Blood[/I] affirming that the results of extensive testing "suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved[URL="http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/cgi/content/abstract/blood-2010-09-309591v1"][/URL]"

Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.
