Science Reaches For HIV Vaccine

Public Domain

  HIV is still a scary virus for many people, but not the death sentence it once was.

People can now live long lives with HIV, provided they get the proper treatment and medication.  Could a vaccine be far away?

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, has been involved in the quest for decades now. 

He describes the journey in a new article in Science and joins us on the air.
