Doctors in Germany Cure Patient Completely of HIV

Berlin's Charité Clinic has announced that they have cured a patient with the human immunodeficiency virus. The 60-year-old man tested positive for HIV in 2009. After undergoing treatment, he did not undergo antiviral therapy for more than five years. During this time, he showed no symptoms of the disease and his immune system functioned normally. To date, five cases are known where people have been cured of HIV. The first patient was also treated at the Charité Clinic, but this time the doctors used a new treatment method.
