Last year was disaster for an HIV vaccine trial. This year? A new way forward A cutting edge pan-African HIV vaccine trial lost funding last year when the Trump administration shut down much of foreign aid. The setback was devastating but the researchers refused to give up.

After US funding cuts stalled an HIV vaccine trial in Africa, researchers are pushing forward on a new path shaped by 117 blood samples donated by HIV-positive women in South Africa.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University uncover HIV mystery that could unlock the path to a cure | CWRU Newsroom | Case Western Reserve University For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a...

US researchers may have unlocked how HIV goes into stealth mode in the human body - the reason why its so hard to find a cure.

They showed how HIV tricks human cells into going dormant and invisible to immune system and HIV drugs.

From network biology to immunity: potential longitudinal biomarkers for targeting the network topology of the HIV reservoir - Journal of Translational Medicine In the “omics” era, studies often utilize large-scale datasets, eliciting the overall functional machinery of a network’s organization. In this context, determining how to read the enormous number of ...

A new study explores how network biology could help pinpoint the hidden HIV reservoir. This could lead to ultra long-acting HIV drugs that could be stopped if HIV stays in remission and be a functional cure.
