Timothy Ray Brown was diagnosed with AIDS in the 1990s. He had leukemia and AIDS and got a bone marrow transplant and now he has no AIDS or leukemia. This worked because most people are actually immune to the HIV. By taking some of their bone marrow they can actually "cure" the virus. Timothy Ray Brown is the first man to be "cured". I put cure in quotes because this could just be a one time thing. They haven't done any real testing yet, but they do plan to start more testing this year.
