Can we end the HIV epidemic without ever finding a cure?
In short: Eradicating HIV might not require a medical miracle. Philip A. Chan explores how preventing transmission could allow the virus to eventually fizzle out, bringing us closer to a major global public health milestone.
The video examines the preventive strategies currently being used to tackle the spread of HIV. Rather than focusing solely on curing the disease, the discussion centers on the possibility of stopping transmission entirely through medications like PrEP.
By interrupting the cycle of spread, these tools offer a pathway toward the eradication of the epidemic, making it one of the most significant public health goals of our era.
