Would imagine a future with no new hiv infections in San Francisco. Researcher tonight are saying it could happen researchers tonight are saying it could happen, joe vazquez on what it would take to get to zero. Reporter at the castros lgbt Center Tonight there is talk of the unimaginable, talk about zero. Zero new infections, zero new deaths for persons living with hiv and zero stigma is a bold aspiration. Three decades after the city began to be ravaged by death and disease could it even be possible . Zero new cases of hiv in the city . At the peak of the epidemic in 1992 there were 2,300 new infections per year among gay men in San Francisco. Now a dramatic drop with about 400 new infections per year, still a lot, but thats less than 1 infection rate among men having sex with men. We can reduce 400 down to 0 is what were trying to do. So how would San Francisco achieve zero . First everybody would need to be tested, everybody. Next youve got to get everyone who has hiv consistently taking their meds. Doctors recently found out the medicines dont just treat the disease, they can keep aids from spreading to new people. As for those who do not have hiv, they can now take a new preventive medication. Thats a lot to ask. I mean you have people who are suspicious of going out and getting healthcare. I mean thats a lovely concept. Im just not sure its a realistic one. The key here appears to be testing which a lot of people are still reluctant to do, especially younger people. Officials hope with obamacare more people will have a chance to see a doctor and that could help move the city closer to zero. Something else, too, is that the medications are so good right now and treatment is getting so much better that a lot of people just kind of let it slide by. Youve got to take them consistently and that is one of the issues thats going to be difficult for them to get to zero. Joe vazquez, thank you.
