HIV Virus cure claimed

          HIV AIDS cure has been claimed by the scientists


    Recently on 6 march Scientists from London has been claimed that the patient is now HIV AIDS free.
.
This is the second time the patient was claimed to be virus free the first claim was made 12 years ago in 2007 were a patient named Timothy Ray Brown was the first claim in the history of research.

     The third claim was made made 7 March at Retero-viruses & Opportunistic infections in Seattle in the U.S   A "Düsseldrof patient"  has no infection of HIV after the 3 months off of antiviral drugs. Only old fragments of viral genes that would be not able to multiply says Annemarie wensing a Virologist at university medical centre utrecht in Netherlands.
She work on this case & says it would be similar case as that of two earlier cases of T.R Brown and London patient.



            The deaths reported due to HIV AIDS


  •      2016 - Approx. 1.1 million 
  •      2017 - Approx. 1.3 million 
  •      2018 - Approx. 1.0 million 


It will give some relief to approximately 30-35 million HIV Virus survivors in the world.
The bone marrow transplant was carried out with HIV resistant rare gene called CCR5-delta 32 mutation which was given to the T.R Brown & now to the London patient. But the New York times mentioned that earlier this process was implemented on several patients but there were no change which brings some disappointment.

But in future there is a hope alive if the scientists succeed it can be the revolutionary movement.
