Man Cured of HIV After Stem Cell Transplant

A man has been unexpectedly cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant for a separate condition, adding to a tiny but growing list of confirmed HIV cures worldwide. The case provides further evidence that stem cell approaches can eliminate the virus entirely, though the procedure remains too risky and expensive for widespread use. Researchers say the finding advances understanding of how HIV hides in the body and could inform future therapeutic strategies.
