      We could do so much good in the world with further research. Even though it’s not viable to do large scale, that fact that an HIV infection is documented to be eradicated is a huge breakthrough.

      All you need is a family member with a rare mutation that makes them immune to HIV, why didn’t we think of this sooner? Good for him and all but this seems like a niche case for a cure.

      My sister in law had the same stem cell procedure 10 years back in Sheffield uk for Multiple Sclerosis. Her own stem cells, For MS specifically not HIV nor cancer. She’s effectively cured of MS. Prof Basil Sharrock oversaw the UK participation in the study that I think involved a Canadian hospital and cohort too. It’s tens of thousands of dollars/pounds of treatment, and medicine needs to find a way of bringing the price down. There’s also a risk of death to the procedure.

      I thought descendants of vikings had a rare mutation that made them resistant to HIV
