This is the second episode of in the series, ‘Contagious Conversations’ from the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases. Expert guests in this series will come from right across the interface of research, clinical care and public health.
In today’s episode we look at the immense progress that has been made over three decades in the management of HIV. Once a fatal diagnosis, the disease can now be completely controlled by anti-retroviral therapy. Access to prophylactic treatment has also made a huge impact on rates of transmission in the community although barriers still remain to equitable access.
