The second person ever to naturally cure their HIV has been identified in Argentina, according to an announcement made yesterday at a major international meeting of HIV experts.
Together with other novel findings from the same Harvard-based scientists, the discovery brings the possibility of a cure closer for the 38 million people living with HIV globally. 'Finding one patient with this natural ability for functional cure [no virus that can reproduce] is good, but finding two means so much more,' said Dr Natalia Laufer, the patient's doctor and an HIV researcher in Buenos Aires.
'It means there must be more people like this out there,' she said. 'This is a significant leap forward in the world of HIV cure research. Upon diagnosis, her tests surprised us all.'
The patient — whose ex-boyfriend died of AIDS — was diagnosed with HIV in 2013.
Her current boyfriend and newborn baby are both HIV negative, Dr Laufer said, who called her a 'healthy, athletic and beautiful woman'.
The two women — the Esperanza Patient and Willenberg — are extreme examples of a rare group of people known as elite controllers, who have never taken antiretroviral therapy to fight the virus, and who show no signs of the virus in their blood.
Normally, when a person gets HIV, the virus attaches to their immune cell's DNA, reproducing from there. But for one in 200 people, the elite controllers, most of the virus settles into inactive parts of the genome, known as 'gene deserts', causing no harm. The remaining virus is cleared up by the body's immune system.
The virus harms people's ability to fight other infections, with the most severe and deadly stage known as AIDS.
Current anti-viral drugs ensure HIV-positive patients' immune systems are healthy to reduce the risk of the disease advancing, but they're costly. The so-called 'Berlin patient' Timothy Ray Brown, a US man treated in Germany 13 years ago, survived the life-threatening procedure, which gave him a bone marrow transplant from a donor with HIV-resistant genes that wiped out his cancer and the virus in one fell swoop.
The finding of the Argentinian woman, Professor Yu said, and the understanding of how the bodies of elite patients deal with the virus 'opens a door to a potential cure', she said.
The work announced at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections provides the most convincing evidence to date that scientists are making significant progress towards a cure for HIV.
Exactly where HIV genetic material is located in the body was shown by the scientists, who also said that mimicking the pattern in elite controllers may be key.
Hopes for a new treatment rose in recent months after a study of more than 10,000 people identified a rare group with controlled HIV in Africa.
Scientists found the group from the Democratic Republic of Congo - where the disease originated - tested positive for HIV antibodies but had low to non-detectable viral load counts without antiretroviral therapy.
These people are known as HIV elite controllers, researchers from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases say.
The discovery could lead researchers closer to their goal of ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which has killed about 39 million people globally.
