While at the 2013 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) this week, I was pleased to sit down with Dr. Grant Colfax, Director of the White House Office of National HIV/AIDS Policy. We discussed the role science plays in helping us achieve the vision of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy as well as some of the important findings being announced at CROI 2013 including a focus on the treatment cascade and research on next generation treatments and prevention methods. Watch our conversation below.
