1 Treatment of HIV and acute myeloid leukemia by allogeneic CCR5-d32 blood stem cell transplantation Elena Knops

2 Background - the Berlin patient so far the only person presumed to be cured from HIV by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a homozygous CCR5-d32 donor

3 Background - the Berlin patient so far the only person presumed to be cured from HIV by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a homozygous CCR5-d32 donor - failed attempts to reproduce cure by HSCT - viral rebound or death due to underlying malignancy

4 The whole story (drama in 5 acts) 48y old patient, alive, well and undetectable for HIV (RNA/DNA) over 4 years after allogeneic CCR5-d32 HSCT

5 The beginning (prologue) induction consolidation

6 The beginning (prologue) induction consolidation AML diagnosis in Jan 2011

7 The beginning (prologue) induction consolidation complete remission of AML

8 The beginning (prologue) induction consolidation to avoid interactions with chemotherapy TDF/FTC/RAL
