According to a report of the Tagesschau (belonging to the German public television chanel ARD),[1] the patient had leukemia and the doctors were looking for a fitting donor who was also missing a so-called CCR5 co-receptor. According to the report, people having such a gene mutation can be found especially in Central and Northern Europe. The patient had already been treated in 2018, but is only now considered cured because he has not experienced any HIV symptoms since then. I do not know whether it was relevant in this case, but Germany has a Central Bone Marrow Donor Registry with currently almost 10 million people registered.[2] [1] See https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesundheit/hiv-leukaemie-stammzellspende-101.html https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesundheit/hiv-leukaemie-st...
