Two HIV-positive men cleared of virus after bone morrow transplant, researchers say.
Two HIV-positive men have been cleared of the virus after a bone marrow transplant, Australian researchers report.
The patients, who want to remain anonymous, were treated at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital and have undetectable levels of HIV.
The results are being presented as part of the 20th International AIDS conference in Melbourne, which is going ahead despite a number of delegates being killed in the Malaysia Airlines tragedy.
University of NSW Kirby Institute's Professor David Cooper says the results herald a new direction in HIV research.
