When you have HIV, you go on a treatment called antiretroviral therapy (ART) as soon as possible after your diagnosis. ART generally includes three different HIV medicines from at least three ...

In what may be one of the most important HIV research breakthroughs in years, scientists have discovered a strikingly powerful antibody, called 04_A06, that is able to neutralize nearly all of the ...

A multinational team led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators developed a test that will help measure the persistence of HIV in people affected by viral strains found predominantly in Africa - a ...

Researchers have found that HIV-1, the dominant type of the virus that causes AIDS in humans, became more virulent when transmitted during penile-vaginal rather than anal intercourse 1. Penile-vaginal ...

Using a combination of cutting-edge immunologic technologies, researchers have successfully stimulated animals' immune systems to induce rare precursor B cells of a class of HIV broadly neutralizing ...

HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-1, one of the two strains of HIV) is a tenacious pathogen. It forms reservoirs that establish a life-long presence in the body; these are cells that are infected ...

An HIV vaccine candidate triggered low levels of an elusive type of broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies among a small group of people enrolled in a 2019 clinical trial. An HIV vaccine candidate ...

An HIV vaccine candidate developed at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) triggered low levels of an elusive type of broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies among a small group of people enrolled in a ...

People with HIV may be at higher risk for cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and cervical cancer. Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) may be the reason for the recent change ...

People with HIV may have to take multiple medicines just to keep the virus under control. Medicines for HIV are usually taken every day, and it is crucial that people do not miss their dose or else ...
