The University of California, San Diego honors World AIDS Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 with a variety of free, public events, including a viewing of portions of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. This year’s events reflect UC San Diego’s “Getting to Zero” theme, language symbolic of the global community effort needed to achieve zero new HIV infections, zero stigma against those living with HIV/AIDS, and zero AIDS-related deaths.

In the video below, HIV/AIDS expert Douglas Richman, MD, professor of pathology and medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, discusses how developments in drugs have turned a disease that carried a death sentence into a chronic, yet manageable disease. He addresses the many advances in this field over the past 30 years, the need for increased work on prevention and the possibility of developing a vaccine. Dr. Richman is the Florence Seeley Riford Chair in AIDS Research, director of the Center for AIDS Research at UC San Diego and staff physician at the VA San Diego Healthcare System. He has researched HIV disease and pathogenesis for the past 30 years. His laboratory was the first to identify HIV drug resistance.
