What inspires you to work in the HIV field?
I am inspired by the desire to help people. Nowadays, people face various disasters and diseases, but HIV is a disease you can live with. In today's world, there are many treatment options, but unfortunately they are not available to everyone. It is unfair when people do not get the medication they so desperately need. It is this injustice that drives me.
What are your goals as an IAS change maker?
I do not think the existing approaches work so well anymore. The world is changing every day – conditions are changing. We have to look for new tools to expand our work and get results. We have to keep up with the times, taking into account all the barriers.
