A 63-year-old man has achieved a functional cure for HIV after receiving a bone marrow transplant from his brother. The brother possesses a rare genetic mutation, CCR5Δ32, which confers resistance to HIV-1 by preventing the virus from binding to T cells. This is the first documented case of a functional cure for HIV using a sibling donor with this mutation. While promising, the procedure is currently only recommended for patients with other serious medical conditions requiring a transplant due to its significant risks.
This article details a case study of a 63-year-old man who achieved long-term HIV-1 remission after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from a sibling donor with a specific genetic mutation (CCR5Δ32/Δ32). The study provides in-depth virological and immunological analyses, including the absence of intact HIV DNA and replication-competent virus, and highlights the significance of donor chimerism in various tissues for achieving a potential cure.
A Norwegian man has been effectively cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant from his brother, who carried a rare genetic mutation that blocks the virus. This high-risk procedure is typically for patients with both HIV and blood cancer and requires a donor with a specific CCR5 gene mutation. The 'Oslo patient' is one of about 10 individuals worldwide to achieve long-term remission from HIV through this method. Researchers hope studying these cases will lead to a universal cure.
