Doctors said a London man with HIV has become the second known adult in the world to be apparently cleared of the infection since the global epidemic began decades ago, giving hope for a potential cure for AIDS. The patient was receiving the bone marrow transplant for cancer. But doctors cautioned against calling the patient’s results a cure for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The London patient, who had Hodgkin’s lymphoma, is the first adult to be cleared of HIV since Brown. Scientists who have studied the London patient are expected to publish a report Tuesday in the journal Nature.
