A British man has allegedly become the first person in the world to beat HIV.
A number of newspapers reported that Andrew Stimpson, 25, was diagnosed with the virus in 2002. He later tested negative in 2003.
Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust, which carried out the tests, now want him to undergo more before it can be established how he apparently beat the disease. Mr Stimpson said he did not take any medication for HIV.
A spokeswoman said: "These tests were accurate and they were his, but what we don't know at the moment is why that has happened, and we want him to come back in for more tests. It is potentially a fantastic thing."
Stimpson was tested three times in August 2002 at the Victoria clinic for sexual health in central London.
The results showed he was producing HIV antibodies to fight the killer disease.
He took vitamins and other dietary supplements in the hopes that this might prevent full-blown Aids from developing.
