First succesfull, documented case of beating the HIV virus ?

A German doctor claims to have cured HIV in a patient by giving him a bone marrow transplant

Quote:

The man, a 42-year-old American living in Berlin, has shown no trace of the virus in the nearly two years since Dr Gero Huetter, a haematologist, gave him the operation - a standard treatment for leukaemia, from which the patient was also suffering.

The breakthrough gives hope for cutting-edge gene therapies to tackle the disease that killed 2 million people worldwide last year and infected another 2.7 million.

Working on a hunch, Dr Huetter selected a bone marrow donor who had a genetic resistance to most strains of HIV in the hope that the transplanted marrow would produce HIV-resistant cells in his patient.

It appears to have worked, and yesterday Dr Huetter declared his patient ''functionally cured''.

The patient has taken no anti-retroviral drugs, the standard treatment for AIDS, since the transplant.

"HIV has an Achilles heel,'' Dr Huetter told a press conference in Berlin.

People with the genetic resistance have a mutation which blocks the production of the molecule, giving carriers a life-long resistance to most strains of HIV.

About 1 per cent of Europeans have the mutation, but people of African, Asian and South American descent almost never carry it.

Though bone marrow transplants are not an effective therapy, since they are expensive and kill up to 30 per cent of recipients, it offers hope that AIDS patients' cells could be re-engineered using gene therapy

Great news :thumbsup

edit: full article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/he...ransplant.html

lets hope its true and the scientists can develop a viable mass treatment from it. Obviously everyone cant have a bone marrow transplant.

Let the FREE LOVE reign again!!!!

awesome news... hope it's true.. it could help many people in countries affected with the HIV dieses.. thumbs up for this dr.!:thumbsup

Not really surprised that it worked.

lets hope so. would be great news

Well, if a bone marrow transplant doesn't work, there's always Chuck Norris. He can beat it.

Pretty good news!!!

I also support the chuck norris treatment

let's jump not too fast

if you link him as an example of someone who got rid of HIV, then it's not true, he just has a good immune system and can afford all the best docs and takes all the proper drug regimes which work for him

last time I heard, he has undetectable viremia (as a lot of people under the antiretroviral drugs do) but that doesn't mean he got rid of it.. if he stopped taking drugs, the virus would be detectable soon again...

the thing is that the HIV virus can be almost eliminated from blood in some lucky patients, but it's still dormant in certain parts of the body and after stopping the drugs, it is replicating very fast again

in this case fron Germany now, I assume this might be the first truly healed person indeed.. I'm sure they made more than just some blood test to determine that he got rid of it

I'm going tranny barebacking tonight, anyone want to join me?

that's the 600th claim, nevertheless I hope for the best

1% of europeans have the hiv blocker? that sounds like a nazi conspiracy to cleanse the planet..

ich bist ein berliner!

Okay and this time tell them to NOT FUCK THE MONKEYS...
