Here’s the wiki on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCR5
Thank you.
Just as her, I had AML. A stem cell /bone marrow transplant is pretty much the standard treatment for AML, if aggressive mutations are involved. Which I had flt3 and t(4,12). So, it seems that a sct would be her standard treatment without HIV. I’m sure they approached it thru the lense ofva clinical trial to see if the virus would be depleted.
I had to be revaccinated with all childhood vaccines. My immune system memory was deleted thru the conditioning chemo and sct. Basically My immune system was like an infant after the process. I can see how they were curious if it would work the same. The proof will be if any hidden remnant hiv cells survived and begin to multiply.
