Adult Stem Cell Research Cures HIV-Positive Man

Doctors Say Adult Stem Cell Research Cures HIV-Positive Man | LifeNews.com: In 2008, German doctors reported they had used a selective adult stem cell transplant to treat a leukemia patient. The treatment had a side effect — that the transplant also removed his HIV infection. After the transplant, the virus was undetectable in his bloodstream for at least two years and he no longer took antiretroviral drugs. Now they are claiming the results provide evidence for a “cure” for HIV infection using the selective adult stem cell transplant.
