Researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill have decoded the HIV genome for the first time, and the results could lead to advances in the fight against AIDS say the editors of the journal Nature. Led by UNC-CH ...

A groundbreaking discovery reveals how HIV integrates its genetic material into human DNA, exposing a key viral vulnerability that could lead to new therapies and bring the world closer to a ...

40 million people live with HIV globally, and that number continues to rise. While therapies exist to reduce the amount of HIV in a patient's body and, in turn, reduce HIV symptoms, there remains no ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 selects its integration targets in the human ...

During infection, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) inserts itself into the host genome as a chromosomally-integrated provirus that persists in infected cells. Although antiretroviral therapies ...
