HIV research

HIV research focuses on understanding the human immunodeficiency virus, which attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS. Scientists study how the virus spreads, how it affects the body, and how to prevent and treat infections. Current research includes developing vaccines, improving antiretroviral therapies that help people live longer and healthier lives, and exploring cures. Advances in research have significantly reduced HIV-related deaths and improved the quality of life for those living with the virus, making it a manageable condition with proper treatment.
