Treatment found for hiv AIDS..!? 'Medical Miracle'..!

Until now, aids was believed to be an incurable disease. A miracle has happened to give hope to aids patients. France's Pasteur Institute says an hiv patient has fully recovered after a bone marrow stems cell transplant. He is the third patient in the world to be cured of hiv through a bone marrow transplant. A patient who has overcome hiv lives in Germany. In 2008, he was found to be hiv positive. 3 years later he also developed leukemia. In 2013, he was given a new treatment, which left him with no signs of hiv returning to his body.

He was the third patient in the world to beat AIDS:

The HIV-positive patient is a resident of Dusseldorf, Germany. In 2008, the patient was found to be hiv positive. After that, he also developed leukemia after 3 years. It was diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia. In 2013, doctors transplanted his bone marrow with the help of stem cells. The transplant was made possible by a female donor. A CCR5 mutation gene from a female donor completely prevents the spread of the disease in the body.
Surprising science:

This is a type of rare gene that prevents hiv from spreading in cells. After this, doctors decided in 2018 to stop anti-retroviral treatment for HIV. The patient was then followed up for 4 years. And many experiments were done. The patient did not have an hiv relapse. The patient was first treated with a stem cell transplant in 2007. Now in his fifth year, he is doing well with no problems with HIV.

Treatment of aids with bone marrow transplantation:

What is bone marrow? What does a bone marrow transplant have to do with hiv aids treatment? The question may arise for everyone.
Bone marrow:

Due to a deficiency of bone marrow, diseases like thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and leukemia occur. A patient's bone marrow is transplanted to treat those affected by the disease. A bone marrow transplant is required in those diseases when the bone marrow stops working. For bone marrow transplantation, the patient's bone marrow must be matched with the donor's bone marrow. Also, human leukocyte antigen i.e. 'HLA' matching is essential. Children born to the same mother have a 25 percent chance of having the same HLA. There is only a one to three percent chance that children and parents will have the same HLA.
HLA:

If the 'HLA' matches 100 percent, the transplant can be done. Bone marrow transplantation is a complex medical procedure in which damaged or destroyed stem cells are replaced with healthy bone marrow cells. Its process is of two types. They are autologous and allogeneic. In this, stem cells are taken from the patient's blood and kept safe. Chemotherapy is then given. After this, the same stem cells are injected back into the body. First, stem cells from a family member are taken. His stem cell is transplanted into the patient's body. In 2021, 3.84 million people will be infected with aids, of which 6.5 million will die of the disease. That is why bone marrow transplant seems to be the new hope of life for aids patients. hiv / aids is not a disease. hiv When germs are present in the body, the immune system is greatly reduced. Therefore, the solution to this problem is medicine, so scientists are struggling to solve this problem through scientific research.
