AIDS Research

AIDS research focuses on understanding the HIV virus, which causes AIDS, and finding ways to prevent, treat, and eventually cure the disease. Scientists explore how HIV infects the body, how it affects the immune system, and how to strengthen the body's defenses. Research includes developing antiretroviral medications that help manage HIV, improving testing methods, and working on vaccines. Additionally, studies examine social and behavioral factors that influence the spread of HIV. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce new infections, improve the lives of those affected, and strive toward eradicating the virus completely.
