What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

What is inspires me is the progress the world has made so far towards eliminating AIDS as a public health threat. Having worked as a clinician at a time when the HIV epidemic was at its peak in my country and then contributing towards the global cause of eliminating AIDS through research and programme implementation has been very fulfilling.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goal is to be one of the leaders in the advent of an HIV cure or vaccine(s) in my country.
