BAARN
Internist-infectiologist Jos Frissen to Speak on His 32-Year Career in HIV Care at Baarn Library’s Blikopeners
by Maranke Pater
On October 19, Jos Frissen, an internist-infectiologist, will be delivering a lecture at the Baarn library for Blikopeners. Frissen will be sharing his experiences and insights gained from his 32-year career in HIV care.
During the lecture, Frissen will touch upon the developments in HIV care since 1987, the year he started working as a doctor in the field. At that time, anyone who contracted AIDS was faced with a grim prognosis as the disease was still untreatable. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of doctors and scientists from all over the world, HIV has now become a chronic and manageable disease.
Despite the progress made in HIV care, it is important to note that the disease still cannot be cured and a vaccine has yet to be developed. Frissen will shed light on these challenges and discuss the ongoing research efforts in finding a cure and a preventive solution.
The lecture will provide valuable insights into the journey of HIV care and the advancements made in the field. Blikopeners, a community-driven initiative, aims to create a platform for intellectual discussions and knowledge sharing.
Mark your calendars for October 19 and join Jos Frissen at the Baarn library to gain a deeper understanding of HIV care and the ongoing efforts to combat the disease.
