Sibling Stem Cell Transplant Achieves Rare HIV Remission in 'Oslo Patient'

A patient in Norway has achieved functional HIV remission after receiving a bone marrow transplant from a sibling, becoming just the latest in a handful of people worldwide to be effectively cured of the virus. Dubbed the 'Oslo Patient,' the individual has remained HIV-free for four years without antiretroviral medication. The case provides new evidence that stem cell transplants from matched donors could offer a pathway to cure the disease that has claimed over 40 million lives globally.
