HIV/AIDS Research

HIV/AIDS research focuses on understanding the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the disease it causes, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Researchers explore how the virus affects the immune system, how it spreads, and ways to prevent and treat it. This includes developing antiretroviral medications that help manage HIV, vaccines to prevent infection, and strategies for education and awareness to reduce transmission. Advances in research have significantly improved the lives of those living with HIV, turning it from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition for many.
