Toronto man poised to become 1st Canadian cured of HIV


CBC News has the story.

A 62-year-old man is poised to become the first person in Canada to be cured of HIV.

Only 10 patients worldwide are considered cured after following similar procedures. The case was led by Dr. Sharon Walmsley, director of the immunodeficiency clinic at the University Health Network. 

Timothy Ray Brown, known as the "Berlin Patient," was the first person cured of HIV, with his cure announced in 2008. An American living in Berlin, Brown was cured in 2007-2008 through specialized stem cell transplants to treat leukemia, using donors with a rare genetic mutation (\(CCR5\)-\(\Delta 32\)) resistant to HIV. He remained HIV-free until his death in 2020.
