Nevena and Macca are joined live in the studio by Associate Professor James McMahon,  as they discuss COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS research and the history of both diseases.

A/Prof McMahon’s research interests include clinical trials focused on HIV and COVID-19. Specific interests include trials in HIV Cure developing non-invasive imaging methods to locate and quantify tissue sites of HIV and clinical trials of interventions targeting the HIV reservoir with latency reversal agents and immunotherapeutics. For COVID-19 he leads an adaptive randomised trial of COVID-19 vaccine booster strategies in immunocompromised hosts and leads randomised trials of antivirals for early disease and a large prospective biobank of biological samples with matched clinical data post infection.
