Africa continues being among the most infected continents with a soaring numbers of HIV positive people. On the eve of World Aids Day we look at some progress in addressing these continuing challenges with projects scientists embark on. The 9th edition of the L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women In Science programme gives us a springbok for our conversation.

Shalena Naidoo joins CNBC Africa to share in her planned research and Alexandra Palt, Executive Vice President L’Oreal Foundation.
