The Berlin Patient

In 1995 this guy who was living in Berlin had HIV/AIDS and had developed leukaemia, he was involved i none of the first ever bone marrow transplants to try and cure his HIV/AIDS. It had worked, and very quickly too. He was on a HIV medicine and he stopped taking it after he got the transplant and he was "cured" of the HIV/AIDS virus. Now his leukaemia came back later, so he got another transplant from the same donor, and he became cured. During the past years researchers have been avoiding the term cure because they could never defiantly say they found a functional cure. The cure is still under research now and more trails need to be done. They are not sure weather its the bone marrow or the patient that is the key to the cure.
