Scripps News examines the fight against a virus that has killed millions of people around the world in the last generation.
We’re closer to a cure for HIV than ever before. This half hour, Scripps News examines the fight against a virus that has killed millions of people around the world in the last generation.
In 2023 there were nearly 40 million people living with HIV. Some 30.7 million of them receive antiretroviral treatment. Despite recent advances in preventing infections, more than a million people are expected to become newly infected in 2024. More than 600,000 will die of HIV/AIDS.
But a handful of people have now been cured, thanks to recent breakthroughs in treatment.
We speak with experts who first identified HIV/AIDS about the progress in countering the disease. We investigate new therapies that exploit the HIV-resistant genetics of donated stem cells, or prevent HIV infections in the first place. And we hold heartfelt conversations with HIV survivors who are growing their own healthy families and engaging with the community to promote HIV/AIDS awareness.

You mentioned that you received a letter in the mail saying that your baby has an unidentified hemoglobin trait, and of course, you’re wondering what that means. Ultimately, I suggest talking with your pediatrician about it, and they’ll be able to give you tailored information and advice. Generally speaking though, an unidentified hemoglobin is discovered when we do routine testing on a newborn, and it doesn’t mean that the baby has a disease or that they’re sick. They’re healthy, but they have an unidentified hemoglobin trait. And basically, what that means is that one parent passed on a normal hemoglobin trait, and the other parent may be a carrier of an unusual hemoglobin trait and passed that along to the baby, so then they have an unidentified hemoglobin trait.
Most types don’t cause problems. You’re doctor may recommend that your child is retested as he or she gets older, because as a person starts to make adult hemoglobin, the unidentified trait disappears. It might also be a good idea to talk with a genetic counselor, because they can discuss if this has any implications for future children or for grandchildren. If you have more questions for me in the future, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/IntermountainMoms, and recommend us to your friends and family too.

Keratoconus is an eye disease where the cornea(the front clear window to the eye) progressively thins and becomes distorted, often bulging outward in the shape of a cone. This warped appearance to the surface of the eye often results in high levels of irregular astigmatism which can cause high levels of blurred vision, glare and visual distortions.
Anyone who is diagnosed with keratoconus and shows signs of progression should consider having a procedure called corneal collagen cross linking; A new keratoconus surgery that has been FDA approved for to help treat keratoconus and slow or hopefully halt the progression of the disease.
People with keratoconus often have the best eyesight with the use of specialty contact lenses. These may include both hard and soft contact lenses but many eye doctors prefer the use of scleral contact lenses for keratoconus.
PRO TIP
The development and progression of keratoconus is more common in people who rub their eyes frequently. To learn more about this see my YouTube Short on eye rubbing: https://youtu.be/Fvsx27YTwgs
