WASHINGTON - Timothy Ray Brown, the American once known as"the Berlin patient" who in 2008 became the first person to be cured of HIV, is terminally ill with cancer, according to his partner.
"HIV has not been found in his bloodstream since he was cured. That's gone. This is from the leukaemia. God, I hate cancer," added Hoeffgen.Brown, 54, is receiving hospice care at his home in Palm Springs, California.Brown made medical history and became the personification of hope for the tens of millions of people living with the virus that causes Aids when he was cured more than a decade ago.
To treat his leukaemia, his doctor at the Free University of Berlin used a stem cell transplant from a donor who had a rare genetic mutation that gave him natural resistance to HIV, hoping it may wipe out both diseases.
