Canadian Man Achieves Sustained HIV Remission After Bone Marrow Transplant
A Canadian man, referred to as the Toronto patient, has achieved sustained remission from HIV following a bone marrow transplant. The procedure, conducted at Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, involved donor stem cells with a rare genetic mutation that provides resistance to HIV. The patient, who had been living with HIV for 27 years, discontinued antiretroviral therapy in July 2025, and as of April 2026, HIV remains undetectable in his system. This case was presented at the Canadian Association of HIV Research Conference, marking a significant milestone in HIV treatment.
