With conventional therapy or stem cell stem cells can be a therapeutic option for patients or the development of HIV / AIDS in the future so that life expectancy can be increased.

It was delivered by dr. Suharto SpKO in the discussion of the media stem cell treatment to combat HIV / AIDS.

According to the doctor who has done several times a stem cell treatment for a number of these diseases, HIV / AIDS attacks the immune system and the body becomes susceptible to the virus or disease interference.

“With stem cells, cells that have undergone degradation will be replaced so that the patient’s immune system will recover gradually. But one thing to remember is that the presence of the HIV virus will still be there,” he said.

Therefore, Suharto said that after undergoing stem cell treatment, then re-infected with HIV will be reviewed within a specified period to ensure their immune re-increases. After also monitor the level of immunity will last.

“We will do stem cell treatment, HIV should minimize the content of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs), because if abortion is still high will cause the replacement of cells did not grow,” he said.

He said a study funded by the stem cell treatment of WHO related to people living with HIV / AIDS in Africa recently, found a result which is sufficient to model the expectations of treatment can help people with HIV / AIDS.

“This study selected five people with HIV / AIDS has reached a terminal stage (acute-red), after the fifth treatment of patients with stem cells that can return to normal life, but remain with the HIV virus” he said.

The experiments performed in five patients showed an improvement in the condition of HIV patients, in which stem cells can grow and produce new white blood cells to fight HIV.

While it still needs more testing, scientists hope to find a method of transplanting cells that can protect the lives of people with HIV / AIDS.

Stem cells taken from the patient and injected back to replace or restore the heart cells, liver, kidneys or pancreas is damaged to make it better. These cells can be delivered in the form of mature cells.

Taking stem cells can be made from the patient’s own body (auto transplantation), from other human beings (transplant alo) and other mammals (Xenotransplan) and then reproduced and injected into the human body.

Stem cells are human or mammalian cell types that still has the ability to split the functions that are useful to keep the muscle tissue in the body as the heart, liver, kidney cells, even brain cells.

dr.Suharto said today worldwide, 97% stem cell treatment using Xenotransplan.

“These stem cells are not drugs god, treats only the diseases associated with cell renewal problems. Another disadvantage is that current methods of stem cells is still relatively expensive cost,” he said.

Currently in Indonesia through some hospitals and can be treated with stem cells. However, the average price is still expensive and the exchange rates of currencies for payment.

“For adults ranged between € 17,500 and EUR 7,500 children,
