A 60-year-old man in Germany has become at least the seventh person with HIV to be announced free of the virus after receiving a stem-cell transplant. This significant medical breakthrough was achieved at Berlin’s Charité, the same institution that famously treated the 'Berlin Patient' in 2008, the first person in the world to be cured of HIV. The achievement has sparked excitement among scientists and highlights the potential of stem-cell transplants in curing HIV.
