HIV Cure: The Science and Community

Health, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC)

In this episode of Well Well Well, we sit down with Dr Jillian Lau from the Doherty Institute to unpack the science—and the hope—behind HIV cure research.

From breakthrough findings in the FRESH and RIO studies to local trials right here in Melbourne, we explore what a cure could look like, why community input is crucial, and how people living with HIV can get involved.

Whether you’re cure-curious or closely connected to the work, this episode offers a grounded, optimistic look at where the science is heading and the role community plays in getting us there.
