The second recorded case of an HIV-positive patient experiencing remission has been reported in the UK, 10 years after the first one.

In a detailed case study published in Nature, it’s claimed that the patient achieved HIV-1 remission after receiving stem-cell treatment for advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
