A German man's HIV has likely been cured after undergoing a stem cell transplant in a first-of-its-kind case, scientists announced on Thursday ahead of next week's International AIDS Conference in Munich, Germany.
Why it matters: The 60-year-old has become only the seventh person to be considered cured of HIV — which affects an estimated 39 million people worldwide, including some 1.2 million people in the U.S.
The big picture: Convention attendees have been paying tribute to former President Trump, who appeared at the event with his large, white bandage on his right ear in his first appearance since Saturday's rally shooting.
