LABOUR MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle called for greater resources for HIV patients yesterday after a man in Britain became the second adult ever to be cleared of the disease.

The unnamed man received bone marrow stem cells from a donor with a mutation known as CCR5 delta 32, a rare anomaly that made the donor unusually resistant to HIV.

He has now been in remission for 18 months after his anti-retroviral drugs were discontinued in 2017, doctors at Hammersmith Hospital in west London said.
