00:00 Podcast Intro
01:08 Introduction of Stacey Rizza, M.D.
01:50 What is the natural course of HIV if left untreated, and what effects would it have on the body?
03:41 So given those numbers then, who should be tested for HIV?
04:32 How should HIV be treated?
05:29 Do people living with HIV then when they are on therapy need any additional, special kind of care?
06:44 So if someone who’s living with HIV is actually receiving the treatment and doing everything they should be doing, will the disease naturally shorten their life?
07:28 Now given that we’re talking about sexually transmitted diseases, is it safe for a person with HIV to have unprotected sex?
09:57 Given those conversations, is that usually how it goes when people ask how HIV can be prevented, or is there more to it?
11:59 Another thing that’s coming out every month or so we hear about the new technological advances towards a cure for HIV, so how are we doing on that? Is HIV curable?
13:35 So one of the things that comes up fairly frequently every few years is the Delta 32 mutation, which is a mutation that it’s my understanding intrinsically confers some level of resistance against HIV infection?
15:50 HIV is a very large global burden and as a result there has been a lot of outreach around the world from many different organizations. Here in American in 2003, President George W. Bush signed PEPFAR, The President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief. What are your thoughts on how well it’s been doing?
17:48 To shift gears here, we’re going to shift from viruses to bacteria. One in particular with a tumultuous history is syphilis. What is syphilis and what effects does it have on the body?
21:08 So that being said, with it having an asymptomatic period where it doesn’t look like you have it at all, who should be tested for syphilis?
21:57 How is syphilis treated?
22:36 So if someone is treated for syphilis, can it reoccur?
23:30 What about prevention? Can syphilitic infection be prevented?
24:14 According to the CDC congenital syphilis cases has risen consecutively over the last five years, is there anything we should be doing for increased surveillance?
25:42 What does congenital syphilis look like?
26:23 Is there a vaccine for syphilis?
