VOICED: El hombre que se curo del SIDA

Timothy Ray Brown, known as the Berlin Patient, is the only person to have been cured of HIV. After contracting HIV and later developing leukemia, he underwent a groundbreaking stem cell treatment using cells from a donor resistant to HIV. This treatment led to his recovery, leaving no trace of the virus. Brown's case has inspired the scientific community, highlighting the potential of genetic therapy in curing diseases. Despite challenges in the U.S. biotechnology sector, Brown has launched a foundation to fund further research and expand the therapeutic trial that restored his health.
