Re:Why Has Science Only Cured One Person of HIV? by dm319 on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @06:50PM (#16066649)
Yes. Though an allogeneic (from another person) bone marrow transplant is a high risk procedure. Some will say up to a 30% treatment related mortality.

You can cure Sickle cell disease as well with a transplant. Generally it isn't done because the risks are not worth curing a disease which has good treatment options (in HIV) or is generally a disease which can be symptomatically controlled in most patients.
