to get the day started, our morning aker spoke to the top hiv expert at ucsf and the aids walk board member robert mansfield about the virtual event and if a covid vaccine could hold the key to a cure. first he had to get something off his chest. >> reporter: let me start with you dr. gandhi. we will talk about aids walk in a moment. we are celebrating asian- american pacific islanders month. "good morning america" asked me recently and people across the country to pick someone who has had a great impact on our lives over the past year and i picked you. >> i didn't know that. thank you. >> reporter: i want to read to you because i want you to hear this what i said and this is on behalf of so many of us. every time there's a new covid- 19 headline i turned to one source and that's dr. gandhi.

early on, i started seeing her talk about covid that anyone could understand in san francisco. by comparing the pandemic to the disease that is already devastated a generation of gay men in our computer day, she encouraged us and her medical colleagues to rethink covid era policy. her vast experience with hiv a.i.d.s. informed her to think of harm reduction rather than fear and shame tactics that history shown do not work. i believe her expertise locally and nationally has saved and improved lights during this year. she deserves our thanks. so thank you. >> i am very touched. that is very touching and i am very moved by that. there is nothing more important to me than being an hiv doctor. i want to -- the covid work. >> reporter: i mean every word.

i don't want him to know i picked you over him. i love him dearly. robert, you have been in san francisco since the 70s. you have seen pre-hiv san francisco during the worst of it and now post. i'm wondering what your thoughts as we head into this next a.i.d.s. walk. >> i have seen the devastation this epidemic brought on san francisco in the world. looking back, i first went to my first a.i.d.s. walk thinking i want to gather with people in the grief and share in the grief at an event. i went to the park expecting a sad affair and instead it was happy. people were celebrating and dancing. it is a way for people to get together and celebrate the people that lost ends celebrate those still fighting.

this is our 35th a.i.d.s. walk. $100 million into the community has been raised over the years for different agencies that we help in different services. those agencies need that money now more than ever. things have pivoted away to covid, which is great, we have to remember that we need help, those underserved communities served by these agencies need our help. >> reporter: dr. gandhi are we still hopeful that what we are able to garner from this new vaccine for covid could, perhaps, lend itself to a vaccine one day for hiv a.i.d.s.? >> yes. the search for a vaccine has been unsuccessful so far which means we have not eradicated hiv. we are at 38 million people. these mrna vaccines are pretty amazing. there was initial work even at this recent hiv meeting that

mrna vaccines could provide hope for being that vaccine. i think it will receive research now, learning from covid. >> a fascinating conversation. a.i.d.s. walk san francisco starts at 10:00 a.m. the virtual event will stream online and right here on abc7. we are proud sponsor the event featuring billy porter, rita moreno, rosie perez, ben platt, george takei and many more. proceeds benefit a.i.d.s. organizations across the area. there's time to register and raise funds today. visit sf.aidswalk.net or call the number on your screen . we are live at robin williams meadow in golden gate park to kick things off. he will join us through 9:00 a.m. newscast and right here at 10:00 a.m. on abc7 .
