Exciting news from the CROI Conference:

H.I.V. Is Reported Cured in a Second Patient, a Milestone in the Global AIDS Epidemic

--- Quote ---Scientists have long tried to duplicate the procedure that led to the first long-term remission 12 years ago. With the so-called London patient, they seem to have succeeded.

For just the second time since the global epidemic began, a patient appears to have been cured of infection with H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS.

The news comes nearly 12 years to the day after the first patient known to be cured, a feat that researchers have long tried, and failed, to duplicate. The surprise success now confirms that a cure for H.I.V. infection is possible, if difficult, researchers said.

The investigators are to publish their report on Tuesday in the journal Nature and to present some of the details at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Seattle.

18 months without rebounding is interesting, the way its done is interesting and provides insights into new idea's. Although its far from any workable or scalable treatment plan, more the exceptions that confirm the rule.

So the October report covered 6 patients undergoing this, and explained the process.

My understanding is this the same, its IciStem patients being tracked across the EU undergoing the same, some (most) post treatment for cancer, the London Patient is number 36 and there is also a 2nd patient from all this showing some promise for a long term remission.

My own thoughts are 18 months without rebounding is very interesting, also the way its done is interesting and, it provides insights into new idea's. Although its far from any workable or scalable treatment plan, more the exceptions that confirm the rule.
