HIV/AIDS: from discovery to the search for a functional cure

Since the first Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report in 1981 about a rare lung infection in five young gay men, HIV/AIDS has gone from mystery illness, to the greatest health threat of the 20th century, to a manageable chronic health condition. Now, 40 years on, the next frontier is identifying a functional cure.

Join Lucy Dorrell, Immunocore's Senior Director of Infectious Disease Research and Clinical Development, as she talks through HIV's discovery, the early race to find new and improved treatments, and the ambition to find a functional cure.
