Timothy Ray Brown remains the only person ever cured of HIV, and this year marks 10 years since his successful treatment. On The Sound of Ideas, we’ll meet Brown and get an update from an HIV expert on what challenges remain for a more widespread cure. Then, Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Ron Powers talks about his new book, “No One Cares about Crazy People” about mental health treatment in America and his own family’s experience with mental illness.
