A

leukemia patient
in the United States has become the first woman and only the third person to be cured of HIV after getting
a stem cell transplant
from a donor who was naturally immune to the virus that causes AIDS, according to researchers on Tuesday.

The case of

a middle-aged mixed-race woman
, reported at
the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections
in Denver, is also the first to utilize
umbilical cord blood
,
a novel strategy
that might make the therapy more accessible to more individuals.

Since obtaining the cord blood to treat her

acute myeloid leukemia
(a malignancy that begins in
blood-forming cells in the bone marrow
), the lady has been
in remission and virus-free
for 14 months, without the need for powerful HIV medicines known as
antiretroviral therapy
.

The instance is part of a broader research funded by the United States and headed by Dr. Yvonne Bryson of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. It intends to monitor 25 persons infected with HIV who get stem cell transplants from umbilical cord blood for the treatment of cancer and other severe illnesses.
