Timothy Ray Brown (born 1966) is an American considered to be the first person cured of HIV/AIDS.
Brown was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 while studying in Berlin, Germany, giving him the nickname The Berlin Patient.

In 2007, Brown, who was HIV positive, underwent a procedure known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat leukemia (performed by a team of doctors in Berlin, Germany, including Gero Hütter). From 60 matching donors, they selected a [CCR5]-Δ32 homozygous individual with two genetic copies of a rare variant of a cell surface receptor. This genetic trait confers resistance to HIV infection by blocking attachment of HIV to the cell. Roughly 10% of people of European ancestry have this inherited mutation, but it is rarer in other populations.

The transplant was repeated a year later after a leukemia relapse. Over the three years after the initial transplant, and despite discontinuing antiretroviral therapy, researchers could not detect HIV in Brown's blood or in various biopsies.

Levels of HIV-specific antibodies in Timothy Brown's blood also declined, suggesting that functional HIV may have been eliminated from his body. However, scientists studying his case warn that this remission of HIV infection is unusual.

Brown, the "Berlin patient", suffered from graft-versus-host disease and leukoencephalopathy – both transplant complications that are potentially fatal. This means that the procedure should not be performed on others with HIV, even if sufficient numbers of suitable donors could be found.

In fact, there is now some doubt that Timothy Brown's apparent cure was due to the unusual nature of the stem cells he received. The graft-versus-host disease Brown suffered from could have been what eliminated the HIV virus from his system.

As of 2017, six more people also appear to have been cleared of HIV after getting graft-versus-host disease; only one of them had received CCR5 mutant stem cells, so it appears that when a transplant recipient has graft-versus-host disease the transplanted cells may kill off the host's HIV-infected immune cells.

He isn't the first.
God has cured many.
God will still cure many more.

I am also certain that it is God who cured him.

Today, HIV cure has been found. Tomorrow, no cure for HIV. Abeg make una let person hear word.

How do we know he was permanently cured, heard of a guy who was cured of HIV but later became sick of this same same illness two years later.

Dont be deceived

There's a lot of conspiracy in the treatment of AIDS just like in cancer, where the American medical cabal have made sure that no tentative cure is found to keep their yearly multi billion dollars chemotherapy business afloat.

MODIFIED: For those of you quoting me amiss please learn how to read in between the lines. What I'm saying is that there's already a cure, but they're being surpressed...

.

Who else thinks Rochas Okorocha should build him a statue?

Wow

U don't mean it

No be only first na last man

When many cases of HIV has been resolved here Africa, some set of albinos are there trying to make glory out of nothing.

still Mr Brown looks emaciated I doubt the total curation. Mrs Brown if he has should be aware

Wow

hmmm....

Lies. Jeremiah Abalaka, a Nigerian is the first to cure people of HIV but he was frustrated

The word 'considered' leaves it opened for a debate. Doesn't state so in certainty.

That means there is hope for our Nigerian oloshos
Meanwhile stay safe, play safe or better still masturbate
AIDS is something you will not wish your worst enemy
For those who already have it, if there is life there is hope and take your treatment regularly
If you don't have it yet play safe, don't believe your pastor will cure you when you contact it
Play safe, HIV/AIDS is Real

Northern ppl shud be happy 4 this gud news.

AIDS is really bad.

Remember when we went to visit a sick woman who was one of our adoptees in Saint Vincent de Paul at FUTO - most of us didn't know she was HIV+. I knew. Later on, when most of those that visited found out they shouted at the execs, one of the girls screaming, "Do you want me to die young? You knew she was HIV+ and yet you didn't say anything when I touched her or cooked food for her"..

So much for charity..

But which one is HIV= ??

O ya let go demolish the f*cking pvssy

I am quoting you twice to tell you that antiretrovirals are FREE OF CHARGE here in Nigeria.You don't pay for them please.

Don't deceive people here.

HIV is not the problem, AIDS is.

And HIV is not the only cause of AIDS, there are other causes too.

Lucky him

bebiee:
Wow

e sweet am...
