UC infectious disease expert is featured guest on WVXU
Carl Fichtenbaum, MD, vice chair for clinical research in internal medicine in the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and renowned HIV expert, recently appeared on WVXU radio's Cincinnati Edition program to talk about the new hope of developing an HIV vaccine.
Though a vaccine is likely still years away, a new injection therapy given several times a year is a game changer, he said.
"HIV should be just a part of the same, general discussions we have about having a healthy lifetime. We don't do that enough. We need to do it more," Fichtenbaum said.
