[@ecburt5046]

Amazing! What a wonderful story. As a BMT recipient myself, I'm so pleased for him to hear such great results!

Medicine wants this to be manageable, not curable. Curable is bad for business.

[@AF-vm6xx]

That’s a bit narcissistic of you to say. I know people battling for over 15 years with cancer only to die from it. Now what’s that? I think those people went through a deeper level of strength you’ve been. So tone it down and get yourself off that high horse. It’s great you’re alive and well again, but this way you’ll not find the responses to your story that you deserve.

Talk about a lucky man.

[@kmla2449]

Hiv has been curable for years my uncle served in military got HIV while serving in Puerto Rico in 1992 . Once military diagnosed him with HIV they sent him to a infectious disease military base in Maryland that deals with chemical, biological, radiological infection as well he was at that military base for 14 months. He in a hospital like setting but more like an assisted living apartment. He said military doctors and nurses gave him 2 pills a day and 2 needles a day for a year then the last 2 months he only got a needle 2 time a day. When the 15 month came around he was tested and was totally HIV free and was cleared yo return to his home base. This in 1992 n 1993 so if military can cure it then why can't it be cured now.

[@enop2001]

I believe you. They have a cure for all diseases. It’s not profitable to cure people. They have shared only the cure for those diseases that would cause too much of a disruption in society if not cured. I would go as far as to believe that HIV is no different than most diseases is just our bodies are so weak from all this contaminated and processed food that the majority of people don’t have the strength to kill it right away because why the hell some people don’t get it?

[@Heyokasireniei468sxso]

so we are pushing the bone marrow transplant , so what about his t cells how did they go up at his age with a shrinkage of the thymus? so will he be able to handle infections ? and if he dies from something else like pneumonia will they say just that or call it aids like they do with hiv positive people? then they say not detectable is somewhat cured but not really? doctors are cautions to say cure or aids , what is remission if they are still positive and the cdc records say positive ? then all elite controllers should be considered cured and compensated for the misconduct and psychological damage and lost thinking they were going to die talk about emotional distress

[@Trund27]

“Pushing” is not correct. Paul had leukaemia, too. The bone marrow was for that illness. The remission for the HIV was a wonderful side effect. Please calm down.

[@MotherMary-fr5pe]

I really do appreciate your kindness and care Dr Ogoh on KZbin for your permanent treatment towards my HIV 🤞 🤞* 0:00

[@NDea69]

Honestly I feel like HIV infection comes from not protecting oneself sexually... I don't like the fact that it's considered a disease that is tied to one specific sexual orientation 😢😢😢

[@hannahb7038]

*sighs** You probably mean no harm, but please refrain from making such assumptions of others; you do not have to be irresponsible, promiscuous, etc to contract something like this. All it can take is just having sex ONE time with ONE person...Also, the reason why it's always been more associated with gay/bi men is because it spreads more easily via anal sex, than other types of sexual acts.

[@priyasingh-qj6mx]

Pls help. I've had intercourse with two men ( not simultaneously) with condom in 2017. It's been 7 years now and since 2017 I have not any sexual activity. Can I still get HIV and know about it ? Some body plss help.

[@mmmddjsj4696]

You can still have the virus and not even know it. Get a test.

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

I am immune to hiv thanks to my excellent European genetics. I have 2 copies of the ccr5 delta 32 mutation which is where the immunity comes from. I donated bone marrow 2 years ago and It would nice to know if my bone marrow cured someone of hiv.

I'm so happy for Paul. Anyone who remembers the 80's knows how terrifying a time it was with the emergence of HIV. The same Evangelicals presently tearing the USA apart were celebrating the deaths of gay men during the 80's. There's no hatred like Christian love.

I don't remember the 80s but I read all about what you're talking about and it sounded really terrible. The way hiv pos people were treated and the fear around it was inhumane.

[@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY]

Personally, I think he only went into remission because he's very Aryan....very WASPy....which they actually have the default genetic code of undermining HIV in their bloodstream/bodies. It's a weird mRNA genetic code that these lineage of race of people have....I think it was something R33C21C8C8 or something like that. I definitely didn't get the genetic code right but it was an example of what I'm trying to illustrate.
