Un paciente de 53 años que tenía la infección por el VIH fue diagnosticado en 2011 con leucemia. Recibió un trasplante de células de la médula, que lo ayudó a lograr una remisión completa del VIH.

Es el tercer caso en el mundo en el que se logra una remisión completa tras recibir un trasplante.

“Cuatro años después de la interrupción del tratamiento analítico, la ausencia de un rebote viral y la falta de correlatos inmunológicos de la persistencia del antígeno del VIH-1 son una fuerte evidencia de la cura del VIH”, añadieron.
