You may recognize Dr. Fauci, the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), from his recent commentary on the novel coronavirus outbreak and urging Donald Trump to extend social distancing guidelines. Dr. Fauci is the nation’s top infectious disease expert and an outspoken advocate of emergency virus measures—and in this episode of SICK, we sat down to talk with both Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, Director General of the Rwanda Biomedical Centre, and Dr. Fauci to discuss what Dr. Nsanzimana calls “the most dynamic disease that we’ve ever seen,” and the disease he is referring to is HIV.

With its uncanny ability to disguise itself from the body’s immune system, HIV is a mysterious and powerful virus that has the ability to re-write your body’s DNA.

So how does a disease that was once a death sentence become one that can now be managed with just one pill a day, with some patients living well into their 90s? Find out in this episode of SICK.
