EP 5 - Let's Talk HIV-1 drug resistance with Dr Adriaan Basson

Thulile Khanyile Season 1 Episode 5
  • Did you know that HIV-1 positive individuals that are on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) can reach a stage of viral suppression where the virus is no longer detectable in their bloodstream? Dr Basson chats to us about this and more.
  • He also chats to us about how the virus hides away in pockets of the body called reservoirs and how some of his research is searching for these sites in the body. 
  • We also chat about life beyond research and we cover topics such as art journaling, being a daddy to his pets and much more.
