Second person cleared of HIV remains free of virus one year on

Researchers reveal Adam Castillejo still in remission 12 months after 'cure' declared

The patient who became the second person ever to be cleared of HIV remains free of the virus a year after initial reports of a "cure", researchers have revealed.

Adam Castillejo, who was until Monday known only as the "London patient", was declared free of HIV last year, 18 months after stopping antiretroviral therapy following a stem cell, or bone marrow, transplant to treat a type of blood cancer.
