THERE ARE CURRENTLY REVISIONS BEING MADE ON THIS EPISODE WHERE WE ARE UPDATING OUR SERIES DUE TO CHANGES IN PROTOCOL. ALL CHAPTERS THAT ARE UNDERGOING REVISIONS ARE CLEARLY MARKED.

In part A of this programme we will be learning the basics about HIV. We learn about the virus itself, how it infects us and how it replicates and spreads to others.
