A 60-year-old German man has likely become the seventh person in the world to be cured of HIV. Doctors announced on Thursday that the man,who prefers to remain anonymous, underwent a stem cell transplant nearly a decade ago while battling acute myeloid leukemia. He stopped taking anti-retroviral medication in September 2018 and has since been in viral remission, appearing to be cancer-free. Commenting on the progress, the man said, "A healthy person has many wishes, a sick person only one."
