Honored to co-host this final episode of ‘HIV From Chaos To Cure’ brought to you by @SauDiversidade @HOPEforHIVCure Here we explored the remarkable development of HIV treatment since the early days of the epidemic until the present day. We then discuss why, despite the existence of very effective treatments, people living with HIV and scientists are still passionately hoping to develop a cure. To map this journey, we interviewed researchers, healthcare providers, people living with HIV, and a person who has been cured of HIV. #hiv #aids #hivcure #uequalsu #hivadvocate spoti.fi/3ZKdCkF – at Los Angeles, CA

People sometimes ? my pride in being #HIV + I’m not proud to have acquired a disease that has savagely killed and kills millions. I’m proud that I own my diagnosis I’m proud that I don’t allow stigma to diminish nor silence me I’m proud that I have chosen to #thrive #uequalsu – at Inglewood, CA
