Tonight's Lineup:

Wiping Out HIV in Utah: After recent news reports that a second person is showing signs of being cured of HIV, we checked in with Dr. Adam Spivak from the Infectious Disease Clinic, UofU Health and Stan Penfold of the Utah Aids Foundation. 

  • Dr. Spivak emphasized that while the cure for HIV is always a focus for researchers, the prevention of HIV is possible through PrEP and in Utah it is free. click here for more information or search slcprepisfree.
