BREAKING: HIV-positive man in the UK is 2nd known adult worldwide to be cleared of the AIDS virus, his doctors say.

"There is no virus there that we can measure. We can't detect anything," said an HIV biologist who helped treat the man.

"There is no virus there that we can measure. We can't detect anything," said Ravindra Gupta, a professor and HIV biologist who co-led a team of doctors treating the man. The man is being called"the London patient", in part because his case is similar to the first known case of a functional cure of HIV - in an American man, Timothy Brown, who became known as the Berlin patient when he underwent similar treatment in Germany in 2007 which also cleared his HIV.

Gupta, now at Cambridge University, treated the London patient when he was working at University College London. The man had contracted HIV in 2003, Gupta said, and in 2012 was also diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The transplant went relatively smoothly, Gupta said, but there were some side effects, including the patient suffering a period of"graft-versus-host" disease - a condition in which donor immune cells attack the recipient's immune cells.

Sharon Lewin, an expert at Australia's Doherty Institute and co-chair of the International AIDS Society's cure research advisory board, told Reuters the London case points to new avenues for study.
