The AIDS 2014 conference was overshadowed by the tragedy of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17. Six well-known HIV researchers and activists were on the flight, which was shot down over eastern Ukraine on July 17. According to some speculation, widely publicized in the media, “the cure for AIDS might have been on the plane.” But are we really that close to ending the HIV epidemic? Does it depend on one “secret formula” that might have been travelling in the suitcase of Dr. Joep Lange, former head of the International AIDS Society? Not really. The reality is, as usual, far more complicated. But in a sense, all these six professionals knew the antidotes for HIV, and worked hard to raise awareness of them. The Drugreporter film crew attended the conference to find out what works to end AIDS for good.
