Until There's a Cure

We’re excited that the National Institutes of Health have granted $32 million toward scientific research toward a cure for HIV. And, we’re proud of the leading role that University of North Carolina researchers will play in this study.

It’s exciting to think about a future when there’s a cure for HIV. Yet here in the present, the reality remains that 1 in 5 people living with HIV in North Carolina don’t even know they’re infected.

Until there’s a cure, we need HIV education and testing programs to empower people to take control of their health—and we need access to care, including anti-retroviral medication, for people living with HIV/AIDS.
