 For the first time ever, a woman has been cured of HIV. A woman dubbed the 'New York patient' by scientists at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City has defeated the virus after receiving a rare, but dangerous, stem-cell treatment. She is the fourth person to ever be cured of HIV - the previous three are all men - and experts have found two cases of women somehow beating the virus naturally. The woman was also a cancer patient, and received a treatment meant to combat both diseases at once - but is also so risky that it has been deemed 'unethical' to use it on people who do not have a late-stage cancer diagnosis.
