A team led by scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) has unveiled a new technique for vaccine design that could be particularly useful against HIV and...
Just two weeks after doctors rid a new-born baby of the disease, it appears the same treatment has worked on full-grown men and women. The 14 ‘functionally cured’ adults still have the deadly virus in their system, but...
A team of Spanish researchers say they have made an important breakthrough in HIV research, developing a new vaccine against the virus that is significantly more effective than earlier attempts. Advancing vaccine...
Australian scientists may have hit upon a form a gene therapy that could lead to a cure for AIDS, causing the HIV virus to ‘self-destruct.’ Queensland Institute of Medical Research researchers discovered a...
A test for HIV that is 10 times more sensitive and a fraction of the cost of current methods, has been developed by British scientists. It uses nanotechnology to give a result that can be seen with the naked eye by...
A new study suggests that HIV may have affected humans much longer than is currently believed. In fact, the virus might have been around undetected for so many centuries that a human community developed some degree of...
Patients with HIV who get vaccinated with a disabled version of the virus can, in many cases, fight the real one to a draw. A new study shows that injecting heat-inactivated HIV can awaken immune protection in some...
