With seven out of ten of people infected worldwide living in subSaharan Africa Dr van Tulleken visits a clinic in KwaZuluNatal South Africa where tens of thousands are still dying He meets an infected schoolgirl and realises that local attitudes to testing are still leading to unnecessary deaths But Chris also meets clinicians taking mass testing out to the villages and meets a man whose life was saved as a result
Back in the UK talk of a cure may be premature but Chris finds out more about the controversy around the rollout of PrEP which when taken daily can prevent someone becoming infected in the first place
