Description

We are bringing you some actually good news and a new drug that is showing incredible promise in fighting HIV/AIDS. It's called lenacapavir. It's not available in Canada yet, but it's getting its first real-world test in three African countries. We talk to Dr Darrell Tan, a leading Canadian HIV prevention researcher about the promise of lenacapavir, and why Canadian doctors should be doing more to make sure HIV prevention drugs get to the people who need them most. And Dr Catherine Martin, a senior researcher with Wits Reproductive Health and HIV in Johannesburg.
