Dear Anonymous,
The ‘Berlin Patient’ was functionally cured of HIV. He had a blood stem transplant using a donor with a rare gene mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV.
He may still have HIV but it would not progress to AIDS. This is considered to be a functional cure.
The procedure he went through was extremely invasive and dangerous. The reason he had it was because he had to treat his leukemia.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to reach out to me for more questions.
Best,
