Why HIV is No Longer a Death Sentence

The HIV & AIDS epidemic claimed countless lives in the 80s and 90s— and while it’s still a devastating diagnosis, medical technology has made significant advancements in treating HIV.

In the second video of our two-part series on HIV and AIDS, we look at the challenges that have kept scientists from developing a cure, and the treatments that have managed to reduce the risk of death in those affected. Join Hank Green for an informative new episode of SciShow.

We’re conducting a survey of our viewers! If you have time, please give us feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SciShowSurvey2017
