"It is with great sadness that I announce that Timothy passed away ... this afternoon surrounded by myself and friends, after a 5 month battle with leukaemia," his partner Tim Hoeffgen said in a post on Facebook.
Adeeba Kamarulzaman, president of the International AIDS Society, said he would mourn Brown"with a profoundly heavy heart"."We owe Timothy and his doctor, Gero Huetter, a great deal of gratitude for opening the door for scientists to explore the concept that a cure for HIV is possible," said Kamarulzaman, who is also a professor of medicine and infectious diseases at Malaya University.
For Huetter, the German doctor caring for him in 2007, Brown's case was a shot in the dark. The treatment involved the destruction of Brown's immune system and the transplanting of stem cells with a gene mutation called CCR5 that resists HIV. More than 37 million people worldwide are currently infected with HIV, and the AIDS pandemic has killed about 35 million people since it began in the 1980s.

Biden releases 2019 tax returns ahead of Presidential debateThe Bidens’ returns show the couple paid almost $300,000 in federal taxes in 2019, including almost $288,000 in personal income tax. The Bidens reported taxable income of $944,737. I still say the difference between a politician and a business man, in tax revealing, is HUGE! Trump is a self made multimillionaire and doesn't take salary as a President! His businesses tax, is dealt with by his auditors! If he was taking the ppls money, I'd say SURE!
