Christian Gaebler @cgaebler.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Most of all, I want to thank the second Berlin patient. It’s his story before it’s anyone else’s. Days like today remind me why we do this. HIV has taken so many lives and still takes far too many. Stories like this give hope that we can actually bring this epidemic to an end. 0103
