About the First Announcement of Man Cured of AIDS
Health , United States
Ends: May 16, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Today is the anniversary of the announcement of the first man, Timothy Ray Brown of Berlin, cured of HIV, the preliminary stage of the virus that causes AIDS, on May 16, 2011.
For those of us alive in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, a terrifying new disease appeared on the horizon following the free love movement and loosened condemnation against premarital sex. The baby boomer generation, the largest yet to ever exist, was young and in its prime. They stretched the boundaries of convention, experimented with sex and drugs, put off marriage, and pursued education. It was a sexually charged and exciting time for youth, and the future was theirs.
That free-wheeling era marked by the 1960s and 1970s came crashing to an end when AIDS appeared on the scene. Suddenly, you could die horribly slowly by having sex with the wrong person. At first, nobody really knew how you got it. It would be the early 80s before the actual virus was identified. Then, once identified, there was no way to treat or cure it.
Treatments would appear in the next decade, including antiretroviral therapy or ART, but conclusive proof of a possible cure still needs to be discovered.
That changed when 45-year-old Brown of Berlin, a man who tested positive for HIV in 1995, tested completely clean for HIV upon discovering an HIV immunity gene he received through a bone marrow stem cell transplant in 2007. Doctors announced he experienced a functional cure on May 16, 2011.
