Scientific Aids-Video - From Death to Life

Bernard Hirschel is head of the HIV/Aids Unit of the University Hospitals of Geneva. His reorganization of the Swiss HIV Cohort Study, a follow-up of more than 14,000 patients, created a database that is acclaimed worldwide for the information it can supply for assessing HIV/Aids treatments.

Hirschel is controversial for claiming that Aids patients who have been receiving effective anti-retroviral treatment for at least six months need no longer use condoms, as they cannot transmit the virus through sex.
