The Forum joins the HIV community in mourning the passing of Timothy Ray Brown, who was the first person to be cured of HIV. Mr. Brown was known as the “Berlin Patient” after receiving bone marrow and stem cell transplants in 2007 and 2008 which cured both his leukemia and HIV. Unfortunately, his leukemia returned last year.
Mr. Brown advocated for prioritizing HIV cure research in political and scientific communities. He inspired many researchers and other experts in the field of HIV to find a safe and affordable cure. His commitment to the fight for a cure is deeply appreciated by so many. He will always be remembered, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
