A Yale-led team has discovered yet another molecular trick HIV uses to survive immune system attacks, a finding that may influence efforts to develop an…
Much of the research on HIV has focused on preventing infection but little is understood about how the body keeps the virus in check post-infection….
In a study, a new HIV drug reduced viral replication and increased immune cells in individuals with advanced, drug-resistant HIV infection. Used in combination with…
Antiretroviral therapies have worked wonders suppressing HIV replication and its progression to AIDS, but their effectiveness is deteriorating due to the constant development of drug…
A new study by the Yale School of Public Health and partner institutions is the first to examine the potential cancer prevention benefits of prolonged…
Soon after an individual’s initial infection with HIV, damage to brain volume and cortical thickness progressively worsens until anti-retroviral treatment is started, a new study…
