I don’t know if there is the cure on the horizon,” states Dr. Hasham, “but there are some very interesting things going on with vaccine trials that are being looked at. Also, other treatments are being explored that are similar to what they use in cancer treatment.
I am hopeful and optimistic that a cure is definitely in our lifetime and hopefully, sooner rather than later with all the different research going on – especially all the new technologies that are coming out in research. There is a lot of interest in the scientific community about HIV, which is always good. You have more eyes on it, more research going into it. This is always a good thing.
