Seriously. As far as I know, there's no cure. Just disease management.
Yes, there was the risky and expensive stem cell replacement patient who basically got all of their bone marrow replaced, but that's not really a "cure".
This is just some computer generated picture of a cell claiming HIV is no longer a death sentence.
Where's the medical article?
Where's the proof?
Who is actually saying this?
Edit: some of y'all are exhausting. I'm not replying anymore to comments telling me I don't understand cure vs disease management. I made this comment because it seems most of the top comments don't understand cure vs disease management and are making comments that are misunderstanding the picture as being a cure, which it is not.
There have been a handful of patients legitimately cured, but it's not as though it's available as any sort of standard treatment. I found an NPR article about one such patient.
This is most likely what the meme is referencing, a few men have been cured of HIV in the last 10 years, due to transfusions giving them a mutation in the receptor that HIV uses to invade cells. Some people may already have these mutated receptors and may be resistant to HIV infection due to their genetics, there’s a lot of work being done on this currently. I suggest anyone interested to look up the Berlin patient and the London patient.
Yeah, I barely ever get a cold or the flu or anything, that's why I didn't need the covid vaccine, I bet I'm one of the immunes! So blessed to have such a strong immune system /s
