Can AIDS Be Cured? How Does the HIV Virus Infect the Human Body? Why Can Magic Johnson Coexist Peacefully with HIV?
December 1st marks World AIDS Day, the first disease to be designated as a global day of remembrance. Its impact on human health has been profound and far-reaching. You might think AIDS is distant from your daily life, but it may be closer than you imagine. In this episode of our podcast, we dive into the mechanisms of HIV infection, its modes of transmission, and the strides modern medicine has made in researching and treating this disease. Joining us is Dr. Janice, a Stanford Ph.D. and biotech entrepreneur, who will explore how the virus invades immune cells, the controversial attempts at gene editing, and the starkly different outcomes faced by patients in affluent regions versus those in resource-limited areas. We’ll also share the latest breakthroughs in drug research from scientists like Dr. Paul Wender, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
