    The progress that’s been made on this front has been amazing. It wasn’t that long ago that HIV was basically a death sentence, then it became something that could be managed in the long term, and now we’ve got effective preventive medication.

    There have also been three cases of people being cured of HIV infections via stem cell transfer (done to treat cancers, but happened to confer HIV resistance). I hope that progresses toward a more widely available sort of cure in the future!
