Seventh HIV Remission Case At AIDS 2024 Fuels Cure Hopes

30 Jul 2024 • At the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich, a new case of long-term HIV remission has sparked hope for an eventual cure.

  • A 60-year-old German man with HIV, who had a stem cell transplant in 2015 from a donor with a single CCR5-delta 32 mutation, has remained HIV-free since 2018. Although the donor’s cells weren’t fully immune to HIV, the patient has shown no detectable virus in various tests.

  • While stem cell transplants are complex and typically used for malignancies, this case boosts optimism for exploring gene editing and other methods to simulate resistant cells and advance towards a broader HIV cure strategy.
