Dubbed "The Berlin Patient," Brown first tested positive for HIV back in 1995. And for years, he unsuccessfuly battled the disease using conventional methods. But when doctors decided to give him a stem cell transplant, everything changed.
"I quit taking my HIV medication the day that I got the transplant and haven't had to take any since," said Brown to reporters from CBS 5 in San Francisco. "I'm cured of HIV. I had HIV, but I don't anymore."
According to reports, roughly one percent of Caucasians have a natural immunity to HIV and AIDS, and the stem cells Brown received came from someone within this rare one percent. As a result, the white blood cells created in his body via the injected stem cells ended up giving him that same immunity.
Brown's doctors, as well as various other experts and scientific journals, have all confirmed that Brown has been cured of both his AIDS and his leukemia.
