About The Cure Chronicles:

There are more than 38 million people in the world currently living with HIV/AIDS. At American Gene Technologies® (AGT™), we believe there is hope for a cure. But it will take everyone working together to make it a reality and permanently end the suffering of millions of people living with HIV today.

AGT is testing a single-infusion cell therapy (AGT103-T) to hopefully cure people living with HIV. Meanwhile, we want to spotlight some of the many people in the HIV community who strive to keep hope alive and tip the odds toward success.

The Cure Chronicles video series features thoughtful conversations with people living with HIV, advocates, medical experts, policymakers, and others working hard toward the shared goal of ending the devastating HIV epidemic.
