Your body is called cells. When many of your cells are infected your immune system becomes severely weakened and your body is unable to fight off the infection. If HIV remains untreated for a long time you may develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS. The standard treatment for HIV is antiretroviral therapy or. a combination of drugs to prevent HIV from causing progressive damage to your immune cells. Who has been cured of HIV A few people have been cured of HIV but stem cell transplant treatment is not suitable for everyone.

The first person to be cured of HIV was a man known as argentina whatsapp number database the "Berlin Patient". He was diagnosed with cancer in 2001 and was treated with a stem cell transplant. Cells are young and can still grow into many different cell types. A stem cell transplant is a process in which doctors insert stem cells into the body. Doctors sometimes give patients stem cell transplants to treat cancer. But the stem cells transplanted into the Berlin patient were unique. They have a mutation called immune cells that prevent infection.

After the transplant, not only did his cancer symptoms disappear but so did his HIV symptoms. Doctors checked to see if HIV was still present anywhere in his body but found no virus anywhere. He lived HIV-free until his death in 2001 when symptoms of cancer returned. Some doctors have tried using stem cell transplants to treat other HIV-infected people, but the results have been ineffective. HIV is generally difficult to cure because it is a virus that can evade treatment by lying dormant.
