The second patient with HIV was suggested to naturally get rid of the virus

by time news

A group of scientists led by Xu Yu from the Raigon Institute in the United States studied an Argentine woman who had not taken antiretroviral drugs for more than eight years, but who had no intact HIV inserts in her genome. It is assumed that this is the second known patient who was able to recover from HIV due to the peculiarities of the body and the immune system.

Scientists do not exclude that the study of such patients will “train” the body of other patients to fight HIV on their own.

Science also knows three cases when patients were cured of HIV after bone marrow transplantation, but the risks associated with such an operation do not allow such an approach to be considered rational.
