Barbara Jungwirth
Freelance Medical Journalist
I specialize in all aspects of HIV prevention, treatment and care. Based in New York City, I have reported on conferences around the world, including IAS 2019 in Mexico City. I have written about the virus and associated topics since 2002 for a variety of audiences, from laypeople with limited English literacy to physicians. Recently, most of my work has appeared at TheBody, it's sister site for clinicians, TheBodyPro, and The Well Project, which focuses on women living with HIV.
Some of my recent articles include
