Doctors Say Adult Stem Cell Research Cures HIV-Positive Man

Doctors in Germany say they have cured an American living there who has the HIV/AIDS virus by using a treatment based on adult stem cells, the more ethical form of stem cell research.

In 2008, German doctors reported they had used a selective adult stem cell transplant to treat a leukemia patient. The treatment had a side effect - that the transplant also removed his HIV infection.

After the transplant, the virus was undetectable in his bloodstream for at least two years and he no longer took antiretroviral drugs.

Now, doctors have reveale the name of the patient - Timothy Ray Brown, an HIV-positive man - and they are claiming the results with this patient provide evidence for a "cure" for HIV infection using the selective adult stem cell transplant.

Publishing their results in the medical journal Blood, they say, "In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that cure of HIV has been achieved in this patient." Ref. Source 9

Cure Aids Cell Stem

I listened to this report and I found it interesting. The fact that this is not something that will cure all people of the aids disease and could possibly cause death in patients who seek it. I believe it is a step forward in the field of medicine and this could help lead a lot of other scientists into finding a better cure. Having this cure take place shows us what stem cell can possibly do for human kind.
