Since HIV’s discovery in the 1980s, scientists have come a long way in understanding the different steps required for its assembly and maturation. Researchers knew, for instance, that HIV wraps its ...

Scientists appear to have discovered a way to produce a true structure of the rare but naturally-occurring anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C from start to finish. The domino-like reaction enables the ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The outer shell, called the capsid (yellow and purple) envelopes the viral RNA genome (blue). Illustration credit: Janet Iwasa Accomplishing a feat that had been a ...

A study by chemists at the University of Chicago has uncovered a new key step in the process that HIV uses to replicate itself. The study, published Jan. 6 in Science Advances, used computer modeling ...

A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

A total of 10 individuals with HIV have been cured to date. Most of these patients have remained anonymous, but three have ...

Combination of peptides and a protease inhibitor triggered apoptosis, extricating the virus. Researchers have developed a technique to eliminate HIV by targeted killing of only HIV-infected cells.

In an important discovery, researchers from Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine have identified a never-before-seen mechanism that enables the human immunodeficiency ...

A groundbreaking deal will make a new HIV prevention drug affordable in over 100 low-income countries, potentially advancing ...

During replication and transmission of HIV (green), RNA is converted to DNA. With the CDC urging screening for all willing patients, providers will be testing and managing a growing number of ...
