British man becomes the second person ever to be 'cured' of HIV AIDS

An HIV positive man in the UK is the second person ever to be declared in remission from the virus, a new study reveals.

The unidentified 'London patient' has been free of the virus for 18 months without viral-suppressing treatment after a stem cell transplant to treat his cancer. The only other person to have survived the life-threatening technique, and come out of it HIV-free, was so-called 'Berlin patient' Timothy Ray Brown, a US man treated in Germany 12 years ago.
Every other attempt in the intervening years has been unsuccessful, many with devastating, deadly consequences.
