The Discovery and Future of HIV

Professor Barre-Sinoussi, virologist and the 2008 Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, discovered HIV in 1983, just two years after AIDS was first recognised as a distinct new syndrome.

She tells us more about this monumental discovery and how she views the future of treatment and research, as well as her life in science.
