HIV Heroes - The Berlin Patient

The second part of our special World AIDS Day trilogy is all about cures! Our HIV Hero is Timothy Ray Brown (The Berlin Patient), the first person to be cured of HIV. We also learn about Adam Castillejo (The London Patient), the second person to be cured of HIV.
Sarah talks us through where we are in terms of finding an HIV cure and the different options that are currently being explored.
