Meet 3 men who’ve been on the front lines of HIV treatments for decades

Johnson & Johnson’s Brian Woodfall, M.D., was working at a Vancouver clinic in the mid-1990s.

For National AIDS Awareness Month, watch as Kerr, Dr. Woodfall and fellow researcher Joss J. De Wet, M.D., reflect on how those treatments have saved lives and continue to evolve, in this moving video.
