Timothy Ray Brown (born 1966) is an American considered to be the first person cured of HIV/AIDS. Brown was diagnosed with HIV in 1995 while studying in Berlin, Germany, giving him the nickname The Berlin Patient.
Procedure
In 2007, Brown, who was HIV positive, underwent a procedure known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation performed by a team of doctors in Berlin, Germany, including Gero Hütter, while undergoing a stem cell transplant for leukemia. From 60 matching donors, they selected a [CCR5]-Δ32 homozygous individual with two genetic copies of a rare variant of a cell surface receptor. This genetic trait confers resistance to HIV infection by blocking attachment of HIV to the cell. Roughly 10% of people of European ancestry have this inherited mutation, but it is rarer in other populations. The transplant was repeated a year later after a relapse. Over three years after the initial transplant and despite discontinuing antiretroviral therapy, researchers cannot detect HIV in the transplant recipient's blood or in various biopsies. Levels of HIV-specific antibodies have also declined, leading to speculation that the patient may have been functionally cured of HIV. However, scientists emphasise that this is an unusual case. Potentially fatal transplant complications (the "Berlin patient" suffered from graft-versus-host disease and leukoencephalopathy) mean that the procedure could not be performed in others with HIV, even if sufficient numbers of suitable donors were found.
Ray Brown (born 27 September 1959) is an Australian tailor and clothing designer. He has designed custom clothing for numerous celebrity rock musicians, and operates his own brand for stage wear, It's A Ray!.
Early life
Brown was born in Darwin, Australia to Ron Brown, a labor rights activist for the building trades, and Clarice Brown, a housewife. As a child, Brown learned carpentry from his father. He completed a four-year training course in shop fitting which included carpentry. When he was fifteen years old, Brown used his mother's sewing machine to re-design the jeans he had bought in local shops.
Melbourne and London
Brown relocated to Melbourne, and worked as a designer in a leather store. He was later promoted to a partner in the business, but eventually left to open a Western-style clothing store after seeing the Nudie Cohn-designed shirts worn by Elvis Presley.
Brown relocated to London, where he rented rooms in the Rainbow Theatre. He continued making custom hand-colored Western-style shirts, which he sold through King's Road boutiques. Just before shipping a large order to Germany, thieves broke into his room during a Bob Marley concert show and stole the order. When Brown complained about the security to the management of The Rainbow, he was given the job of caretaker of the building, which required him to live in a flat at the top of the theatre. He continued making clothing and was promoted to Front of House manager.
Ray Brown is a former professional football safety who played for 10 seasons from 1971 to 1980.
In college, Brown played for West Texas A&M University in Canyon Texas.
Professionally, Brown played for the Atlanta Falcons, and the New Orleans Saints.

Story Of The First Man Cured Of HIV | Timothy Ray Brown First Person Cured Of HIV/ AIDS
Visit Our Website: https://www.sciencenaturee.com/
Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," is a man who was diagnosed with both HIV and blood cancer in 2007. He was living in Berlin, Germany at the time and was receiving antiretroviral therapy to manage his HIV infection.
In 2007, Brown's doctors decided to treat his blood cancer with a bone marrow transplant. In order to increase the chances of the transplant being successful, they chose a donor who was homozygous for the CCR5 delta32 mutation, a genetic mutation that confers resistance to HIV.
The transplant was successful, and Brown's leukemia went into remission. However, the transplant had an unexpected side effect: Brown's HIV viral load became undetectable, and he was able to stop taking antiretroviral therapy.

Business owner wants light near dangerous intersection
A River Road business owner is in a months-long dispute with the city of Cincinnati over the installation of a traffic signal that he said would improve the safety of customers entering and leaving his establishment. "Someone is going to get killed here," said Ray Brown, owner of Ray Brown Properties. "It's very dangerous out there." Brown owns the Shell gas station and Riverside BBQ & Drive Thru at 2790 Riverside Road in Sedamsville. He said it opened in June. "I was told from the very beginning that I would get a light," said Brown. However, no traffic light has been installed by the city of Cincinnati.

For years, Brown's HIV remained undetectable, and he was considered to be HIV-free. His case is considered to be the first documented cure for HIV and has provided important insights into the virus and has led to increased research into the potential for a cure for HIV.
It's worth mentioning that the procedure used to treat Brown's leukemia is complex, risky and not suitable for most people living with HIV and it's not a practical solution for the majority of people living with HIV, but it has been a significant development in the fight against HIV/AIDS and has given hope for a future where HIV is curable.
Timothy Ray Brown passed away on September 29, 2020. He died from cancer that is unrelated to his HIV status. His death was a reminder that even though he was cured of HIV, he still faced other health challenges just like everyone else.
Brown had been living with cancer for several years before his death, which is not surprising given that people living with HIV have an increased risk of certain types of cancer due to their weakened immune systems.
