This year for just the seventh time since the start of the HIV pandemic, a German man was cured of the virus.

Only seven HIV patients have survived the treatment with no viable HIV virus left in their bodies.

Dr. Sharon Lewin , Professor of Medicine at Doherty Institute at University of Melbourne , Australia joins The Excerpt to discuss why we still don't have a cure.

PrEP is pre-exposure prophylaxis to prevent someone from getting HIV.

Currently most people around the world would be taking a single tablet a day and the virus essentially stays under control.

The big advances in PrEP right now are injectable PrEP , which can be injected every six months .

In 2023 , there are roughly 40 million people globally living with HIV, UNAIDS says.

Dr. Sharon Lewin : I think the best tool to prevent new infections is education of communities at risk.

An HIV vaccine is a lot harder, unfortunately, to develop than what we witnessed in COVID .
