Timothy Ray Brown, 45, who tested positive for HIV in 1995, has appeared in a new interview proclaiming he is cured of HIV, several months after the December study published in scientific journal Blood which said Brown had exhibited “evidence for the cure of HIV infection.”
“I’m cured of HIV. I had HIV but I don’t anymore,” Brown, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area said in an interview with CBS 5 aired on Monday.
Brown lived in Berlin, Germany in 2007, and had HIV and Leukemia. Scientists gave him a bone marrow stem cell transplant.
He says he has not had to take HIV medication since that time. The Leukemia did come back about a year later, so he got a transplant from the same initial donor in February of 2008. Both HIV and Leukemia have not returned, he says.
