I don't know about the anonymous case, but there was a guy named Timothy Brown who underwent a bone marrow transplant but was treated with the mutated CCR5, CCR5 Delta 32. It disables the receptor through which common stains of HIV use to enter the body. I'm not sure it could be considered a viable form of treatment when you consider the odds of a bone marrow donor with the resistant gene. Although I did read of clot blood therapy with CCR5 Delta 32. * +

HIV likes to hide too, it's known as HIV latency. An example is when it hides in resting CD4+T cells. It goes into exile with help from miRNAs, it doesn't produce the antigenic proteins by which the immune system can identify it, also hiding from antiretroviral therapy. It could lie dormant in just one cell, like every one in a million. Anyway, I think miRNA inhibition could be a stepping stone towards a cure. *
