Adam Castillejo, also known as "The London Patient",[1] is the second person known to have been cured of HIV infection.[3][4][5] Castillejo, who is British-Venezuelan.[2] and has mixed European ancestry, lives in London. He has previously worked as a chef [6] and is now a motivational speaker.
His body became resistant to HIV infection after receiving a bone marrow transplant in 2016[7] to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma. The German donor carried the CCR5-Δ32 mutation which gives resistance from HIV infection.[8] It is likely because of his half-Dutch father that Adam’s donor was compatible with him.
