It is reported that a German physician has CURED HIV infection in a patient by performing a bone-marrow transplant from a donor possessing natural immunity.  HIV immunity is conferred by a genetic mutation that appears to originate from Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.  Individuals with two copies of the mutant gene, one from each parent, have immune cells without CCR5 receptors, which cannot be infected by HIV.  Individuals with a single copy of the gene are not immune, but have greater than normal resistance to HIV infection.
