Brown, commonly known as “the Berlin patient,” was cured of HIV whenever he underwent a bone marrow transplant in 2007 to treat leukemia, which he individually had. The donor had a genetic mutation called “CCR-delta 32” that made him resistant to HIV to the point of near resistance. Whenever Brown received the transplant, that someone had handed genetic resistance down to him.
