Science is restless. It's always seeking, always exploring, always striving to answer new questions and build off the knowledge it has already gained. In HIV, we've spent decades refining our understanding of the virus and its complex web of intersections with our bodies and our societies. Yet we constantly strive to learn more, and to create ever-more-effective means by which we can prevent HIV transmission, treat HIV infection, and improve the length and quality of the lives of people affected by this 40-year pandemic.
In this monthly podcast, HIV and the Future will zoom in on one area within HIV-related science to highlight innovative projects and explain the bigger questions and issues they seek to resolve. Our explorations will include current and upcoming pilot studies or demonstration programs, as well as unsung but important new projects that seek to tackle big issues around HIV prevention, treatment, and care.
We will interview the scientists and clinicians involved in this innovative work, as well as experts in relevant subfields who can speak to the broader implications of that work for the future of HIV and health care.
Our Patients Are Aging. What Are We Gonna Do About It? (With Meredith Greene)
More than half of people living with HIV in the U.S. are over the age of 50, and within a few years it will likely be more than two thirds, if we're not there already. You probably already know first-hand the challenges of adapting and evolving care to meet the needs of a patient population that is older than we envisioned back when we formed a lot of the HIV care systems we now rely on.
This month, Meredith Greene, M.D., joins us to talk about that adaptation and evolution by discussing her path to becoming a leading HIV specialist and geriatrician, her experience creating the distinguished Golden Compass clinic in San Francisco, and her efforts to apply that knowledge and experience in her current role as an associate professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine and a scientist at the Center for Aging Research.

Clinical Highlights From the 26th International AIDS Conference (With Paul Sax)
The world's largest HIV-focused meeting took place in late July — and as ever, the science came fast and furious, to the tune of more than 2,500 presentations. When a conference is this large, distilling what's likely to have the greatest import for HIV clinicians in the U.S. is one heck of a tall order. Thankfully, our guest this month is very much up to the task: Paul Sax, M.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, the clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and the editor-in-chief of Clinical Infectious Diseases.

HIV Care for Women: Where We Are and Where We're Headed (With Aadia Rana)
Outside of pregnancy, cisgender women have long been underrepresented in HIV clinical research (and frankly, even pregnancy-related evidence gaps remain substantial). That's why we invited Aadia Rana, M.D., back to the podcast this month. She shares some of the biggest unanswered questions in women's HIV care, where current research is headed, and what clinicians can do to improve their practice today.
