> curing HIV isn't something we now know how to do.

Technically we do but we will never ever give someone a stem cell transplant to cure their HIV because there are SIX highly effective different classes of medication to treat HIV. Majorly treatment resistant high fitness HIV is NOT a concern on the horizon.

> The second point is: this did not give us a significant new insight into the causes or mechanisms of treatment of HIV

The first unique cases of both variants of this DID lead to significant, valuable insights in several areas. But further cases, not so much. Myeloablation clearing the HIV reservoirs while the patient continues being on ART leading to a total cure does not excite any knowledgeable scientist anymore in 2025.
