Q:You like HIV too?!?!? I thought I was the only one!
Yes! It’s a fascinating little virus and rather brilliant in terms of evolution. It even holds potential for helping to cure certain bone marrow and blood cancers (when the virus is genetically modified of course).
I also enjoyed shadowing an ID doc who cared for HIV/AIDS patients since their care is very holistic and in order to successfully treat them, you usually have to involve social workers, potentially a therapist, their GP, etc. I liked the team aspect and continuity of care that comes with treating those patients (a rarity in ID…usually you consult and leave). Plus if you help the patients manage their health well, they can live a fairly normal and long life. The global health aspect of HIV/AIDS is also very appealing to me since I am an avid public health fan; prevention is the best medicine!
