The Berlin Patient has been cured of HIV/AIDS (reportedly) via a procedure of stem cell transplant. The patient's name is Timothy Ray Brown. Brown is a patient of leukemia. He has become the first person to be cured of Human Immunodeficiency Virus i.e. HIV (AIDS - Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) with a special procedure of transplanting HIV-resistant stem cells in his body. He is from Germany and he was an HIV positive person. He was in chemotherapy to cure his leukemia. During this he was subjected to transplant stem cells in his body.
That procedure proved to be the cure of his both diseases (HIV and Leukemia). Now Brown has become the subject of a report that is claiming that he has been cured of HIV due to the stem cell transplant. All this happened in the year 2007 but the word 'cure' is now being officially used because Brown has been checked thoroughly and found with no single sign of HIV.
