A seventh person has been essentially cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant nearly a decade ago, doctors announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

The unidentified 60-year-old German man was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia when he underwent the risky procedure to replace his unhealthy bone marrow in October 2015.<\/p>\n

He stopped taking anti-retroviral drugs \u2013 which stop HIV from replicating \u2013 in September 2018. He remains in viral remission and appears to be cancer-free.<\/p>\n

“A healthy person has many desires, a sick person only one,” the man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said of his progress.<\/p>\n

Dr. Christian Gaebler, a physician-scientist at Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, is scheduled to present the case next week at the 25th International AIDS Conference.<\/p>\n
