In this episode of +Talk, host Karl Schmid sits down with world-renowned HIV researcher Sharon Lewin to break down one of the most important questions in HIV today.

While HIV can be controlled with treatment, a cure remains one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine. Dr. Lewin explains how HIV hides inside the body, why it’s so difficult to eliminate, and what scientists have learned after decades of research. From the concept of the “viral reservoir” to rare cases of cure, this conversation explores both the complexity – and the hope – behind the ongoing search for a cure.

We’ve made incredible progress in HIV treatment and prevention, but the journey isn’t over. The future of HIV cure research is evolving- and science is getting closer every day.
