LONDON: An HIV-positive man in Britain has become the second known adult worldwide to be cleared of the AIDS virus after he received a bone marrow transplant from an HIV resistant donor, his doctors said.
Gupta described his patient as"functionally cured" and"in remission", but cautioned:"It's too early to say he's cured." Scientific research into the complex virus has in recent years led to the development of drug combinations that can keep it at bay in most patients. The transplant went relatively smoothly, Gupta said, but there were some side effects, including the patient suffering a period of"graft-versus-host" disease - a condition in which donor immune cells attack the recipient's immune cells.
Sharon Lewin, an expert at Australia's Doherty Institute and co-chair of the International AIDS Society's cure research advisory board, told Reuters the London case points to new avenues for study.
