First recovery from HIV!


A group of German scientists claims to be the first ones who fully cured person that was infected by HIV. 

In fact, as it's published in the medical journal, Blood doctors from medical university in Berlin have successfully cured a man who was suffering from leukemia. 

First, the radiation destroyed his defense mechanism so that he could receive the bone marrow from some donor. This is a 44-year-old American, Timothy Ray Brown who was infected by HIV from 1995 year to the 2006, and had leukemia. 

After 38 months of taking medication so his stem cells would not be rejected, tests have shown that the HIV virus is gone. 

However, doctors point out that the entire treatment is extremely difficult because it deliberately destroys the immunity composition and could not be applied to every patient with HIV.
