The Late Late Show with James Corden published this video item, entitled “Octavia Spencer Shares an Important Story on World AIDS Day” – below is their description.
James asks “The Neighborhood” star Max Greenfield about his children acting as his editors for his new book “I Don’t Want to Read This Book.” After, James asks Octavia Spencer about producing the short film “Right to Try” with director Zeb Newman which follows Jeffrey Drew’s decision to seek a highly experimental treatment to cure the HIV he’s battled for 30 years. And Reggie Watts has a question that cuts deep.

In This Story: HIV
The human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are two species of Lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that infect humans. Over time, they cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.
Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype. In most cases, HIV is a sexually transmitted infection and occurs by contact with or transfer of blood, pre-ejaculate, semen, and vaginal fluids. Research has shown (for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples) that HIV is untransmittable through condomless sexual intercourse if the HIV-positive partner has a consistently undetectable viral load.
Non-sexual transmission can occur from an infected mother to her infant during pregnancy, during childbirth by exposure to her blood or vaginal fluid, and through breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells.
