Cure For HIV Infection: Another HIV Patient Cured With Stem Cell Transplantation
A 53-year-old D sseldorf patient becomes the third person in the world to be completely cured of HIV infection by a stem cell transplant.

In a breakthrough study, researchers have developed artificial enzymes to block the reactivation and replication of the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) in the immune cells.
According to researchers, this patient received stem cells from a donor with a relatively rare genetic mutation that confers resistance to HIV.
Researchers in China will soon start human trials of a long lasting HIV vaccine. This is the first HIV vaccine to undergo 2nd phase human trials.
If you are living with HIV, here are some tips that may help you cope with this condition effectively.
A treatment for the HIV virus may be here soon, reveals a recent study. While we tell you all about the new-found possibility of cure, read on to know how you can care for yourself if you are suffering from HIV.
An international team of researchers is harnessing the immune system to reveal new clues that may help in efforts to produce an HIV vaccine.
A new study has found a way to accurately and easily count the cells that comprise the HIV reservoir. This will enable researchers, a way to clearly understand whether their strategies are working.
HIV testing is pivotal in ensuring that the ailment is detected early and the persons infected with the virus can have longer, productive lives. Dr. Swati Rajagopal, Consultant-Infectious Disease, Aster CMI, sheds light on the topic in this article.
An affordable, simple tool has been designed by the researchers that make HIV testing and monitoring possible for individuals in developing countries with less access to medical care.
Researchers have come up with a portable and low-cost mobile diagnostic tool, utilising a cellphone and nanotechnology, which can help detect HIV viruses and examine their management in resource-limited regions. Know more about this.
There is only one antiretroviral therapy (ART) centre in Haryana state for treating around 10,739 AIDS/HIV positive patients. The therapy centre is located in Rothak.
Used in combination with existing HIV medications, the drug is a promising strategy for patients who have run out of effective treatment options, the researchers at Yale University said.
The research was led by scientists in the Laboratory of Immunoregulation and the Laboratory of Immunogenetics at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.
More than half of total HIV positive patients undergoing treatment at government centres could not be traced according to a Maharashtra State AIDS Control Society (MSACS) report and the doctors believe they might spread it to others besides increasing their own health risks.
The Parliamentary committee on petitions have asked the health ministry to boost up the process of establishing PPP based antiretroviral therapy (ART) centres for improved treatment towards HIV infected patients including those who are poor, orphans and destitute.
The computer simulations are now proven to be successful in tracking the virus's movements through populations.
A new study has zeroed in on a new defence against HIV-1, the virus that causes AIDS.
