A German man, Berlin 2, remains in HIV remission six years after a stem cell transplant from a donor with only one copy of the CCR5 Δ32 mutation, suggesting new avenues for HIV treatment beyond rare donor matches, and highlighting the potential of reservoir reduction and immune system rebuilding in achieving long-term remission.
A study reports sustained HIV-1 remission in a patient following heterozygous CCR5Δ32 stem cell transplantation, highlighting a potential pathway for HIV cure research.
A 68-year-old man, Paul Edmonds, expresses extreme gratitude after being essentially cured of acute myelogenous leukemia and achieving HIV remission following a stem cell transplant at City of Hope. He is one of only five people in the world to achieve full remission of HIV, having had the virus for over 31 years. This remarkable treatment marks a significant medical breakthrough, with Edmonds being the fifth and oldest person to be in remission for HIV.
