AIDS and HIV Research

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a severe condition caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which attacks the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight infections. Research on HIV and AIDS focuses on understanding how the virus works, how it spreads, and how to treat and prevent it. Advances include antiretroviral therapies that help manage the virus, making it possible for many to lead healthy lives. Vaccines and cure research continue to be priorities, aiming to eradicate the virus or prevent its transmission. Public awareness and education also play crucial roles in managing the epidemic.
