Human immunodeficiency virus 1, more commonly known as HIV-1, is known for its uncanny ability to evade the immune system. Scientists at Scripps Research and collaborators have now uncovered how our ...

When some viruses infect our bodies, “our immune system can create a type of ‘permanent immunity’, meaning that once you’ve been exposed to that virus, you’ve got protection from it and are typically ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists have identified drug candidates that show promise to reverse the ability of HIV to escape detection by the immune system. The discovery, ...

The type of virus used as a model to study the efficacy of non-neutralizing antibodies against the virus responsible for AIDS has a crucial role to play, according to a new study. The type of virus ...

Patients with HIV usually carry a reservoir of HIV-infected cells that can re-emerge if anti-retroviral therapy stops. These reservoirs have long been thought to be dormant, but two independent groups ...

Routine cancer screening is a powerful tool that can save the lives of people living with HIV. With early detection, ...
