cure for HIV AIDS

World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of people with HIV/AIDS is as high as 38.4 million, i.e., 0.4% of the entire population. People have been actively looking for a cure for this deadly disease.

There was an International AIDS Conference in Montreal in July 2022. The scientists at this conference reported that stem cell transplant (SCT) could cure HIV/AIDS. This approach was successful in four cases.

Even though SCT is a hazardous treatment for an HIV/AIDS patient as they are already in a fatal health condition. But this important development towards finding a cure for HIV/AIDS cannot be ignored due to this factor. HIV/AIDS is an infectious and fatal disease that has been prevailing in society for four decades without a cure.

How SCT helps to cure HIV/AIDS?

HIV AIDS cure

Coming across SCT treatment was a pure coincidence. Dr. Neha Rastogi, a consultant of infectious diseases at the Fortis Memorial Research Institute, said that SCT is a blessing in disguise for HIV patients.

Dr. Rastogi said that the first case of HIV/AIDS was detected in Berlin, who was also diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer. To treat leukemia, the doctors gave the patient a stem cell transplant.

HIV Cure

The donor was deficient in the CCR-5 gene, which helps HIV to spread in the body. This helped the patient to get rid of HIV. The CCR-5 deficient bone marrow helped to cure HIV.

HIV/AIDS creates tiny particles that bury themselves inside the hidden sanctuary sites in the bone marrow mainly.
