A Toronto man could become the 1st Canadian cured of HIV thanks to rare bone marrow treatment

In this April 21, 2015 file photo, new needles which clients can get as part of the needle exchange program at the Austin Community Outreach Center are displayed in Austin, Ind. Indiana's health commissioner approved a one-year needle-exchange program Thursday, May 21, 2015, for a rural county at the center of the state's largest HIV outbreak, an epidemic that's being driven by needle-sharing among intravenous drug users. The southeastern Indiana county had been operating a temporary needle-exchange under an executive order signed by Gov. Mike Pence that will expire Sunday.

A man known as the "Toronto patient" could become the first Canadian cured of HIV. Medical experts say it's a miraculous achievement even if only a small group of people are eligible for the treatment.
