About this episode
For the first time in Canada, a 62-year-old man is poised to be Canada's first person to be cured of HIV. There are currently only a handful of people world-wide considered cured of HIV. We speak with one of them, Adam Castillejo, about what it means to be cured. We also speak to the doctor of the Canadian patient, Dr. Sharon Walmsley, about what this breakthrough represents -- and the future of HIV treatment.
