Researchers at the 29th annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections announced in 2022 that the fourth person was effectively “cured” of HIV by way of stem cell transplants for blood cancer, in this case, acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Now a year later, the researchers are sharing their full findings in the journal Cell.
They paint a full picture of the so-called “New York patient,” a middle-aged woman who self-identifies as mixed race and has now been living with her HIV in remission since 2017.
She follows three others (all men), who have seen their HIV effectively be “cured” as a result of stem cell transplants.
