An Englishman of 44 years may have become the first person to be cured of HIV in history. According to scientists and latest news, after an experimental method, the virus is completely undetectable in the patient's blood. The man received a vaccine that helps your immune system to detect infected cells. He also took a drug to activate the latent infected cells, which are often not captured by standard treatments.
Currently according to news, antiretroviral therapies have targeted T cells of the immune system, active, who are infected with HIV. However, the treatment can not reach the dormant T cells. This means that the patient's organs continue to reproduce the virus.

The new method uses a vaccine that helps the body to recognize cells infected with HIV and a drug, called Vorinostat, which activates dormant cells "dormant", which makes them detectable.
The work is being conducted by a team of five UK universities researchers with 50 people. "We are exploring the possibility of real cure HIV. This is a huge challenge and it's still early, but the progress has been remarkable," said Mark Samuels, director of the National Institute for Health Research Office for Clinical Research Infrastructure.
Despite the promising results, the researchers explain that there is still much for the method to reach the patients. "We will continue with the exams the next five years. In the future, depending on the test results, we can explore this therapy," they say.
