This is a complicated area of research and these are still early days. Most of these researchers think that even if a cure is possible, it is unlikely to be at least 10 years away.<\/p>\n<p>There has so far been one patient who had a very complicated medical history but who has been able to cure HIV through several bone marrow transplants from a donor who has a rare genetic mutation that means HIV cannot infect their CD4 cells. More information on this widely reported case is at this <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/htb-south\/1234\/\">link<\/a>.\u00a0 This article also looks at his case and other HIV cure research.<\/p>\n<p>Science has already been successful in making a huge progress in HIV in a short number of years since the virus was first identified. We can realistically, therefore, be hopeful that a cure will be found one day. In the meantime, however, we can be grateful for the highly effective HIV treatments that can give people with HIV a near normal life expectancy and a<br \/>\ngood quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been keeping up with the recent research updates for the cure for HIV.
