Two new cases of long-term HIV remission following a stem-cell transplant from a donor with a rare genetic resistance to HIV (CCR5-delta32) were presented, both with serious complications including a hepatitis B reactivation and incomplete engraftment with several infections, according to the International AIDS Society.

In the small, ongoing Tatelo-plus paediatric study in Botswana, all infants remained undetectable at 24 weeks on broadly neutralising antibodies, though one researcher cautioned that antibodies plus lenacapavir amount to suppression rather than a cure, according to the International AIDS Society.
