Popular Post C_Colstead Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 21, 2023 A man in his 50s from Switzerland - the "Geneva Patient" - has effectively been cured of HIV after receiving a stem-cell transplant, the sixth case of its kind. He has been off all ARVs for 20 months, and there's been no sign of HIV rebounding in his body so far. What makes this case different, though, is that this is the first time someone has been cured of HIV after receiving a transplant from someone who doesn't have a gene mutation which makes their immune system resistant to HIV. All five previous known cases of being cured of HIV have been following a stem-cell transplant from someone with a gene mutation that is resistant to the disease. https://www.queerty.com/sixth-patient-cured-of-hiv-but-this-ones-different-from-past-cases-heres-why-20230720 19 3

Яeo. Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 I used to think this was great news until I found out that stem cells transplants are extremely dangerous and many patients end up dying :(
Jjang Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 ugh. It’s so tragic to think about all the lives lost in the 80s/90s. its so heartwarming to see this advance in our lifetime.

ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted July 21, 2023 ATRL Administrator Posted July 21, 2023 This is so revolutionary. The way science has advanced to the point where we can finally stop this serial killer is fucking awesome. I think about how so many of our LGBTQIA+ ancestors fell victim to this. Like whole generations of community and history gone. I hope the day comes when we can save everyone afflicted with HIV. 2
John Slayne Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 great news Spoiler don't even THINK about BB with strangers. those antibiotic-resistant strains of syphilis will get your ass 1 1
