Two other cases with both HIV and cancer, patients in Berlin and London, 此前曾有科学期刊报道称，经过高风险手术后已治愈.
现在杜塞尔多夫患者的治愈细节已在《自然医学》杂志上披露.
这名53岁男子, whose name has not been released, was diagnosed with HIV in 2008, then three years later with acute myeloid leukaemia, a life-threatening form of blood cancer.
在 2013 he had a bone marrow transplant using stem cells from a female donor with a rare mutation in her CCR5 gene. The mutation has been found to stop HIV from entering cells.
The Duesseldorf patient then ceased antiretroviral therapy for HIV in 2018.
Four years later, consistent testing found no trace of HIV returning in his body.
The study said that “this third case of HIV-1 cure” provides “valuable insights that will hopefully guide future cure strategies”.
