This year, for just the seventh time since the start of the HIV pandemic, a person was cured of the virus. That patient, along with the others cured, had received stem cell transplants to treat another life-threatening disease, blood cancer. But because these transplants carry a significant mortality risk, they're simply not a viable cure for the roughly 40 million people globally living with the virus. Dr. Sharon Lewin, Professor of Medicine at Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne, Australia joins The Excerpt to discuss why, in the 40 years since the onset of the HIV pandemic, we still don't have a cure.
