HIV Research & the Community 4

In the last four decades HIV has gone from an unknown pathogen, that if untreated, would become lethal in the vast majority of people carrying the virus, to a chronically managed infection. The same drugs that treat the virus now prevent it in the form of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and undetectable viral load (UVL).

But what of the future of HIV clinical and social research?

• Will a cure be possible?
• What novel treatment options are on the horizon?
• Will there be radical changes to how people take drugs, both for treatment and prevention?
• How will our understandings of the social dimensions of HIV shift in the future?
• Will we see an end to HIV related stigma, both in affected populations and the broader community?
• How will attitudes to sex, safety and relationships change in the coming years?
