Stem Cell Therapy and HIV/AIDS

We have been hearing about the wonders of stem cell therapy for a while but this 2019, we are already seeing the ground breaking and true power of stem cell therapy. HIV in the past was a disease that humanity thinks was impossible to cure. It is something that we just have to live with. But thanks to the wisdom that was given to humanity by God, medical researchers are already on its way to fully eliminating HIV with the help of stem cell therapy.

The first person to be cured of HIV is Timothy Ray Brown, an American who was called ” The Berlin Patient”. They first announced that he was cured of HIV at the 2008 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. Eleven years later, another person called the ” London Patient” was cured of HIV through a bone marrow transplant to treat a cancer. Both patients have been cleared of the HIV virus. Each of the patient was using antiretroviral drugs but with the help of stem cell technique, they are now free of HIV. Because of these two patients, doctors are now very positive and hopeful about the ability of stem cell therapy to put an end to HIV/AIDS.

The second patient who relied on bone marrow transplant, was able to replenish his stem cells due to a transplant coming from a healthy donor. Because of stem cell therapy, these HIV patients were already able to stop taking antiretroviral drugs and are now completely free of the disease. Doctors were able to achieve this result by combining a series of treatments that targeted that cancerous cells plus the infected parts of HIV.
