Resumen de Double good news from HIV front line
The fight against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has taken a turn in human's favor with news that the virus has all but disappeared in two infected people. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization is opening up antiretroviral treatment to millions of infected people who do not currently qualify. The two men were diagnosed with a blood cancer called Hodgkin's lymphoma after they had become HIV-positive. Three to four years ago they received chemotherapy to kill off white blood cells and the cells that produce them, before undergoing a bone marrow transplant to restore their blood systems. A few months ago, the men came off antiretroviral drugs because levels of the virus had fallen to undetectable levels in their bodies. They remain apparently free of the virus.
