The HIV Gene

Available for over a year

HIV is an incurable disease - or is it? It turns out that some people are naturally immune to HIV, and their genes can be used in to remove the virus from a patient’s system altogether. But given that HIV is a new disease, how did this resistance evolve? And what does this mean for the millions living with the condition? Kat Arney digs into the buried past of the “HIV gene”, and its life-saving future, with Dr Stephen O’Brien and Dr Ravi Gupta.
