HIV/AIDS is one of the world's greatest concerns, affecting more than 40 million people. As medical advances and research continue to develop, ways to eradicate AIDS are being discovered. 7 people have received it so far according to the WHO.

Since the discovery of the HIV epidemic in 1983, various studies have been conducted on the virus, which is considered to weaken the body and deprive the person of immunity and make a person sick, which is why a person is said to have AIDS.

With the help of special medical methods, it is reported that around seven people have been cured of the AIDS virus since 2007 when the first cure was found.

In the 25th international AIDS conference held in Munich, Germany, experts, researchers, and human rights activists discussed the progress made in eradicating AIDS.

The treatment used is called 'Stem cell transplant' which is very painful, and the risk of death is high. Experts explained that this type of treatment has been found to be possible for patients suffering from prostate cancer who also have HIV at the same time. Some of those treated said at the meeting that they were 'walking testimonies'. This shows that there is hope that HIV will reach a cure for all people who have it. A man named Adam Castillejo from the city of London who is 44 years old, is one of the survivors of HIV/AIDS. He told the media that it took years to confirm that the treatment he received was effective. It is at the same time that Franke Marc, 55 years old, confirms that he has completely recovered, and the medication is stopped.

Sharon Lewin, director of the International AIDS Society, said that it is good to have rich people, but she also said that HIV treatment is still available to only a few people. Only what has already been done gives hope for the future in dealing with this disease.

In 2007, a patient named Timothy Ray Brown was first declared cured of HIV, only to die of cancer in 2020.

 

As of 2024, there is no reliable cure or vaccine for AIDS, but in recent years, research has discovered anti-retroviral drugs. The study also showed that antiretroviral drugs can make people live longer than people without HIV.

In Rwanda, there are more than 230,000 people with HIV, of whom, more than 97% are taking antiretroviral drugs. The number of deaths due to this virus continues to decrease as reported by the National Health Agency 'RBC'.

According to the WHO, last year there were more than 1.3 million new infections, while more than 42.3 million people have died in the world due to AIDS, and more than 40 million people are suffering from it. 65% of people with this virus are located in Africa. The WHO also confirms that 630 thousand people will die in 2023.

It is expected that the HIV epidemic will be eradicated from the world by 2030, according to the Sustainable Development Goals. By 2025, 95% of people will be aware of their condition and take medication correctly, thus reducing the number of deaths.
