For the first time, a woman has become HIV free!
A woman in the United States with leukemia has been freed from the deadly disease AIDS (HIV) through stem cell transplantation. The researchers made the announcement at a scientific conference in Denver on Tuesday. This is the first case of a woman becoming HIV free in the world.
The middle-aged woman has recovered from a stem cell from a donor who is naturally protected against HIV, which is responsible for AIDS. The matter of his recovery is revealed in detail. He has been HIV free for 14 months. So far, 3 people have been freed from the virus by changing stem cells.
With severe myeloid leukemia, the cancer started in the blood-forming cells of the woman's bone marrow. He has been free of the virus since taking navel blood for treatment. As a result, she has not had to take antiretroviral therapy for HIV treatment in the last 14 months.
This is the first case of a woman being HIV-free in this way, but it has been a success for two men before. Sharon Lewin, president of the International AIDS Society, says the treatment is the first time a woman has been able to become HIV-free.
The successful research activities were conducted by Dr. Los Angeles, University of California, USA. Ubone Brasson and Dr. Johns Hopkins University. Devara Parsad. Under their leadership, 25 HIV-infected people were given stem cell therapy by cord blood. In this case, the treatment of HIV including cancer has got special results.
Scientists believe that these people have immunity in their body, which paves the way for liberation from HIV. Sister Marrow transplantation is not possible for everyone, but it does make the idea of a cure for HIV clearer. This success will help the medical system to move forward in the future.
Wow! I hope medicine will also be able to develop an effective cure against cancer, too.
