Even one infected cell could result in a viral rebound.<\/p>\n<p>The patient was first diagnosed with HIV in 1990 and began antiretroviral treatment in 2005, according to NBC News, but only received a stem cell transplant after being diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, an extramedullary myeloid cell tumor, in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that the immunosuppressive drugs the patient consumes to prevent graft-versus-host disease \u2014 the donor graft\u2019s rejection of the host \u2014 could be key in suppressing the virus, S\u00e1ez-Ciri\u00f3n said.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the man\u2019s success thus far remains a mystery for now, as experts can\u2019t pinpoint why the Geneva Patient\u2019s treatment saw positive results.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, patients who are potentially cured of HIV through stem cell transplants receive cells that contain a genetic mutation that is resistant to infection \u2014 but the Geneva Patient did not receive mutated cells.<\/p>\n<p>His case is slated to be presented in the coming days at the International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science, held in Brisbane, Australia, NBC News reports.<\/p>\n<p>The case\u2019s findings are \u201cgreat news\u201d and could \u201chelp in many ways in the work toward a cure,\u201d IAS President Dr. Sharon Lewin told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>While apparently an effective treatment for HIV, stem cell transplants are typically reserved for patients who have certain cancers, as the method brings with it an array of side effects and health risks.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Paul Edmonds became the oldest person cured of HIV, at 66, after a bout with leukemia and receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor with an HIV-resistant gene mutation.<\/p>\n<p>His \u201camazing\u201d journey follows the successful treatment of an anonymous German man who was declared HIV-free this year after entering remission in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the first woman, and also the third person, cured of the virus was announced after she received a novel umbilical cord blood transplant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"antig-440468039\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A European man has reportedly been in remission from the human immunodeficiency virus for two years, following a stem cell transplant to treat blood cancer.
