The world's largest conference on HIV and AIDS has been underway in Berlin to discuss developments and breakthroughs in the field. 

One major story out of the conference is the remission of a patient with HIV using a new treatment method. 

Also, we discuss a study into mammal-to-mammal transmission of avian influenza.
