a test positive to her child in my teen 98. i am the executive director for positive action for treatment of access. i also worked at lawrence university as a mental health counselor. here to have you talked to linda gal, welcome to the stream, introduce yourself to international audience. i say me that try to i am linda, gail known as l g b as well. i'm a medical doctor, trained infectious diseases, dr. closet social worker. i've been working in the a chevy field now for going on 30 years. and i run an organization called the days mon t to a chevy. st. take here in cape town. and our purpose is to reduce the impact of a chevy and related infections, including tuberculosis in people from some of the poorest communities here in the southern tip of africa. so good to have so many perspectives with us on the street

today. i'm going to get you to bounce around the different parts the well to remember your, your different experiences. linda gal. i want to start with you because as we were watching those 8 typing survivors living with h i b, you wouldn't noting what a very different atmosphere today than from 14 years ago when i, i'm just going to say it was terrifying. that is what i remember. what do you remember from the 1980s? early, 980. as you say, entirely terrifying me people dying in drugs all around us. i remember, you know they were just funerals upon funerals. i was a young medical doc tap in northern coffee and very hard to hit by the chevy didn't care in southern africa. and you know, it, it was extraordinary. had the, the ward filled up with young people. i think that was the most frightening was that we were dealing with the, the 2nd dying amongst elderly people,

people who were at the end of their lives. these were people in the prime of their lives. and children babies, you know, that was the hardest thing for somebody who was a young, new and health care worker who wanted to save lives and make people better suddenly to be surrounded by so much day and died. and seeming me no way of actually stopping the tsunami of the day that was coming upon us. i say it was a terrifying and powerless time in many ways. i'm just want to go see you've got this, this picture and you have to smile when you look at it. but it's, it's also a picture, something that you love very dearly, who also succumbed to the aids to aids and die from h i v. what was your 1st understanding of what having a mates?

well, that it was entirely fatal that people would run away from you that the pic, the person, the pictures, jesse solomon, he was my partner. he died in october of $991.00 and you know, the 1st night just him i got together. i have to tell this guy that i may be positive. and so i brought him to a corner on new york like 4th avenue and 6, and told them guess they had to tell you something. i said yes. see i have h i v and he's like is that it goes been said nothing. i have aids and he said i said you do. and he said, well, what do you think the spots are on my face? there they were carpet or coma. and, you know, i thought i just thought you had, i had complexion. i didn't realize that's what it was, but you know, over the course just because it's about 2 years and he taught me so much about life

to think in terms of possibility. i remember thinking that if i loved him enough, he wouldn't die. and then i remembered that and then i realized that if i really loved him, i had to let him go. and so he died in my arms around 7 am on october 6th, 1991. and to this day he is the love of my life. i tried to do my work and in his spirit were like, hey i'm, i'm just listening to linda gal stories where she thinks so many people dying in south africa and evince, lost his policy. so many people died in north america though. people were dying around the world. and then you found out you had a, did you just think i am going to die? so i found that i have a child. he was very healthy,

perfectly healthy. i was 28. the last father's thing on my mind was a chevy. a, but when i was told i had a chevy. this was a year after a fair law died. fella who was a well known motor amos mission in the entire unit, said jerry and in the room. i like, fella i was listening to his records. i would go to, i mean, from college, from, if i went, you know, low invest in if it would go out, go to watch feller. then he's bravo was my dream health minister for. so he announced that fella had died of an age related illness. this was in 1997. the mood was it was very scary. i was terrified, not because of aids, but the fair and the chief man. so when i was told him,

i see my c h that i have to the chevy property. i just thought about phill, i'm what that meant. it was an absolute silence or shame of air. it's what i remember wanting to talk to my mother about these and i went home and i told her things on tv, this radio tv promos. and i was asking my mother maam, what would you do if you had that somebody? what do you think of all the support they have? and what my mother said to me was, well, this is what happens when you don't take care of yourself and it's not a problem. i could not talk to my mother because i thought she was concerned. her daughter is married, had to take that k t i had written, well, he was a last feed. my mother was thinking about and that was the mood when i checked that he, chevy, positive nigeria, that the fact that we had no access to treatment. so having said, definitely meant death, it was a short death, but it was also a slow, shameful,

painful way to daddy, for the fact that you were like, hey, i'm vince just sitting right here on the stream talking to us so that that's been an evolution in terms of treatment for h i v. one of the things that i wanted to bring in here is a gentleman that i'm sure is globally well known. doctor anthony felt g, 40 years ago, he was a researcher looking into the causes of a treatment of 8. and a couple of weeks ago, i spoke to him for the international aide for 5 people. cough look at the hallways, the h i. v. aids had demick. where are we now? and i asked doctor felt about what can we expect in the next 5 years? this is what he told me. one last thing that we absolutely need to do that would be the mail and the coughing of this pandemic would be

a safe and effective vaccine. and that's a lot of f is being put into that in as difficult as it is. i believe it's achievable prevents you're sitting by having left with having h i v for so many years. what would you like to off dr. linda gal? what is there a moment in your career that defines your work to you? something that happens. a person i think a little there. ah, there are probably a number of people i want to say i am. i'm believably privileged. i would say despite the fact that it has been harrowing at times, it has been tragic on so many occasions. it has been

a sheer on that and privilege to take care of people who have faith this diagnosis and stared it down and lived through it as well as those 2. unfortunately, either because treatment was not made available or they couldn't take the treatment or circumstances we just such that they would not lucky enough to survive the disease, even though is i have learned such an amazing amount for me just in terms of resilience, bravery, courage. you know that the persistence and the incredible willingness to give and continue giving. i mean, it really has been an extraordinary experience. i often say to people, you know, i get asked, how do you do that? how do you go into work every day?

i say, i can't imagine doing anything different than it truly is a field all or made sin that i think is like no other and, and that i think is because we truly do understand that this is way beyond a disease. it is not just a condition, it is not just a virus, it actually touches individuals in so many aspect of their lives. they psyche, they make family, they, they every sphere of their being. and so, you know, i think again as, as healthcare provider, we also have to dig deep and find so many more levels to over and above just providing medication or, you know, taking care of the ill. and i think that has been the most extraordinary experience of my life. it defines who i am and it's safe. ne,

fueled my passion for the work i do, you know, when i came back to san francisco, i was in thailand and national work for a while. and i remember not wanting to take the job that i now have because i said, i've done my part. i spent my whole adult life working in h. i v aids. i want to do something different now and i don't know, it's like the universe had other plans. it just kind of directed me back. and after about 3 weeks of doing this, i thought what ever made me think i didn't want to do this? it's been some of the most gratifying work of my life. i feel like we get a chance to do what get right what we didn't get right the 1st time around. and i don't know if more lucky remembers me, but we've cross past several times when i was on you and aids 7. and yet when you meet people do never know if you're going to see them again. if they're positive, you know, you never know who's going to be at that place the table. and it's so good to see

you. i mean, it's just a basic, you're not even any gray or i'm much better than the last time. do you remember me? i remember when i get a steady, steady on say on let's, let's put it's a, it's a very good point in the if you all positive will you see that person again and that that to me that's, that's gives me, goosebumps, vince, you talk about your work i want to talk about, relax, work like i have a look here, you know, these pictures for education for you with, oh, so important. having someone to talk to understanding what is going on. tell us about your work and why education is, you know, we don't have a vaccine yet, but education often people say education is the next best thing. thing to vaccine. knowing about how you could get sick may, will stop from getting sick. tell us about your what i got. i took charge of my

life when i learned what a child was before, then i lived in fair. i was afraid, but then i realize this is a virus. it's a virus phase, a way to address it, face treatment, or that can be treatment even though we didn't have treatment. and i haven't that information gave me the drive to fight. then i went to the a conference and i met activists. and what he told me did for me to gave me back my life. i just got, it was a new surge. there was something to live for. there was something to die for. and that's what i started working on when i said it working on my work right now. same says on young people, a dollar sense when i was in treatment my think for the treatment trial in 1999, i was 29 years old and i would go into this clinics. i'm at the children then as i qualified for treatment. i couldn't. i wasn't centric young people again,

i saw babies, i saw adults, i didn't see young people. and i kept wondering what happened to all those children . what happened to all those babies after we got medication? very young people where they and that's thinking of a dolly same sex, young people is what cost my work to p. what? and then i focused on adult since children born with a child each well no, no other life well had to leave with this infection that now going to college. and now when bought in houses, that has been what have focused on women and girls. i work with we have a home called navy, told me the only home in nigeria that addresses the needs of young teenage girls. we've h i v because when people lose their family members, or even people who are in the system, nobody wants to adopt a teenager. nobody wants to adopt. people are looking for babies. channels loved

one or both parents. what do you do? where do you go? we do not have the kind of social welfare system you have in other developed countries. your family is your social support network. if you don't have how many members will, can take you, then you end up in the streets, or you would end up with a relative who would physically, sexually emotionally abuse you. so that's what i've done educating young people and making sure that children we, they try v know what's going on and that knowledge would help address with shame on the chevy places on you. i guess we are extended online community. one of the biggest challenges still regarding h, i v, and aids. now that we have 40 years into understanding them so much better. this is what they told us. and then i'm going to ask, i guess what they feel the biggest challenge is i'll have a look. we believe there has to be a huge investment and not only scientific cool that have revolutionize our response

to h i v. but in the same way we needed investment in the drivers of the need in order to make sure that our leadership skills have on the team will be involved in research design in clinical trial design. and then even the boys to ensure the other ones are hearing from them about the test. so to bring an end aides. meds alone are not enough. we must couple medications with activism, with social policies and programs. so that all people in all parts of the world have an equal chance of not becoming infected with this fires. never been short of ideas when it comes to tackling a lot, sometimes it's political will sometimes it's resources. vince, what needs to be done now? 40 years on well, it should always be people,

the for profits that there should be equal access to treatments across, across the globe. you also in the u. s. in developed countries, 50 percent, 55 percent. i think of the people living with h. i v or over the age of 50. you wouldn't need to invest, you know, we talked earlier about not having a 30 year plan. there needs to be a plan. i think we need to think about those of us who survived. we need to redo what it means to age into age, gracefully. yeah, there needs to be an investment and we need to get right. i recently went to attended a consultation for by park black indigenous people of color here. and the document that was produced in remarkably like the same document we produce like 2625 years ago in this, in a similar meeting. so we need to have different outcomes. these documents going to be just a deliverable for somebody's, somebody's job, or somebody's office, but we need to have outcomes that will change the,

the trajectory of this. and also we need to raise women and girls and transgender folks. we need to change that, all this massage any we need to get rid of punitive laws against people who use drugs. we need to recognize that sex work is work and needs to be legal. i could just keep going on and on. we need another vendor for that. the challenges in your ideas and your solutions that we share, that we had invested in women and gil access to resources continued access to resources. right now we have the funding drying up all the money going just into medication, but it's not just about medication. like others have said, we must go back and invest in communities. human beings make a change. we made a change. we made sure there was access to treatment. we advocated for so many things. and if we, if we forget about the human beings and we just focus on the medication, they would lose it. i am your vaccine for as long as i'm on treatment and my very

lucas non detectable i can to affect my baby. i cannot transmit h i v. i'm not sexually transmissible, which means it keep invested in human being an invest in women and girls who are the ones who build off their communities. they're the ones will never leave that. they want to never forget. dr. linda, go abraham at that a off on youtube. why the so hard to find vaccines for h? i fi for me. we're up against a formidable f. b. a virus is, is complex. it's healthy. it really has found ways over the years to evade out immune systems said that is the starting point. second to that, i think the coven response and the discovery of the coverage rack, seen with the not 12 but 11 months. it's been extra me. and i think what it shows

is that given sufficient resources, given sufficient political will, given collaboration, we can do that. so i have to agree with dr. tony found, she that, you know, i think it is within the way with all of the, of the world. but we're going to have to increase the, the real drive to find a vaccine. and that means collaborations, private, public partnerships, academic partnerships, resources, and a drive to find that vaccines. it isn't easy, but we have to believe it can happen. probably prevention is the way to come this year. we mentioned dr. voucher that i'm going to give him the last work if he drew the connection between 8 and 85, a research and the covey vaccine. right now, let's have a listen. ted. if you have the restrictions of a clinical trial that excludes so many people who have no other option and no

other intervention, no other drug, be it a drug for h i v are for an opportunistic infection. so many of the activists, for example, led in act up by jim i go lead on the west coast by monte delaney. we're seeing why not do a parallel track. why don't you allow the drug to be made available to people under informed consent to have no other options for treatment? thank you so much that so much more to talk about. i could have you 3 of for the whole week. so i will probably get into trouble dr. in to get more or less k relax because you're not in trouble with me. i just said, vince, thank you so much, really appreciate you. i'm going to ask you one more time to have a look at my laptop. this is the a's memorial on instagram. i highly recommend you look for it as we reflect on 40 years of h, i v and aids. some of the amazing stories of love, loss and remembrance. thanks for joining me today. see you next time. take

use of the regulation and prioritizing profits led to the state's power grid failure. the texas blackout on a jesse or something was going to change has anything really changed? this is just demick violence that needs to be addressed at its core. we're in a race against the variance know what to say. so we are all saying we're looking at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line when i was just there on the ribbon, are and flows through the coldest region of q against on temperatures have dropped to 20 degrees below 0 at this time of year. but the driving snow and bitter winter conditions aren't enough to keep these men from working on the ice and in the freezing water. because the river north contains gold bend for villages along the narrow river, be planning for golden, this area for centuries. the best time of year to do it is the winter because the
