&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The first woman in the world believed to be cured of HIV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A woman of mixed race being treated for leukaemia appears to be the first woman to be cured of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) after a stem cell transplant from a naturally resistant donor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The patient has been in remission and free of the AIDS-causing virus for 14 months and without the need for HIV treatments known as antiretroviral therapy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The woman patient is also believed to be the third person ever to be cured. The two prior cases involved a white male patient and a Latino male patient.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The two previous known cases where the male patients had received adult stem cells as part of bone marrow transplants. The case of a middle-aged woman of mixed race treatment involved umbilical cord blood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Her case was presented at the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.croiconference.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; in Denver, and it is the first time that this method is known to be used as a functional cure for HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The women transplant cells have a specific genetic mutation that HIV cannot infect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However, experts say that the transplant method involving umbilical cord blood is too risky to be suitable for most people living with HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The sex and racial background of the new case mark a significant step forward in developing a cure for HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Since the first person ever to be cured of HIV/AIDS, it has brought hopes to millions of people that a cure for this disease is possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While we are all waiting for a cure for HIV, many people living with HIV are still depending on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/poz&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;antiretroviral therapy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; (ART). ART is not a cure for HIV, but it keeps HIV under control and gives people with HIV a near-normal life expectancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing and current treatments will still control disease&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., chair and president of ACCESS Health International, says human behavior plays a lot more role in terms of HIV testing specifically on the person&amp;rsquo;s daily activities and sex partners. &amp;ldquo;People with multiple sex partners must undergo HIV screening more often,&amp;rdquo; he mentioned.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;Former FDA associate commissioner and president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, Peter Pitts, said VB is not a cause for alarm. &amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a cause for renewed focus,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;The battle against viruses is a never-ending one.&quot; He mentioned the lessons that COVID-19 has implied. Regular testing is a weapon against viruses and infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Getting tested regularly can massively impact the effect of the virus when detected early.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to Get Tested and HIV treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
