In
2012, Daniel Kuritzkes reported results of two stem cell transplants in
patients with HIV. They did not, however, use donors with the Δ32
deletion. One of the men has been followed for two years and the other
for three and a half years. While both are still on HIV treatment,
neither shows traces of HIV in their blood plasma and purified CD4 T
cells using a sensitive culture method (less than 3 copies/ml). They are
also showing a significant decline in HIV antibodies, suggesting a lack
of HIV replication.[verification needed]
