What inspires you to work in the HIV field?
My decision to participate in the field of HIV cure research is influenced by several considerations. The fundamental reason is that as a clinical pharmacist, I am required to be involved in these matters. HIV cure research has always been a high priority for me after realizing that countless Africans die as a result of HIV.
What are your goals as an IAS change maker?
My objectives as a clinical pharmacist and HIV cure academy researcher are to actively participate in cure research, conduct baseline assessments of HIV reservoirs, test experimental and potential drugs, and disseminate information and communicate with the scientific community through appropriate channels.
