Anadolu offers two main paths for HIV care, from management to a potential cure.
Standard ART Treatment Plan This is the foundational management therapy. It involves medication to suppress the viral load and protect the immune system. Treatment is primarily outpatient, beginning with a personalized scheme from the pharmacy.
CCR5-Δ32 Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant This is a potential curative treatment for eligible patients. It requires a compatible donor with a specific CCR5 gene mutation. The procedure follows the CURE study protocol used for the "Berlin Patient." The total hospital stay for this intensive treatment is around 125 days. The all-inclusive package covers the procedure, hospital stay, and evaluations.
