What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

The strides that scientists have made in the 40 years of the HIV response are incredible: from mortality and morbidity control to epidemic control, where we are now.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

I am looking forward to being part of the development of an efficacious HIV vaccine.
