HIV can damage the brain and cause memory and cognitive problems. And once HIV enters the brain, it does not leave. HIV ...

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has enabled most people living with HIV to live long and healthy lives. However, a small portion of people experience detectable traces of the virus, known as ...

Research strongly suggests that most persistent cases of viral detection after drug therapy are due to defective copies of ...

This week, a new paper described how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only ...

As the HIV virus glides up outside a human cell to dock and possibly inject its deadly cargo of genetic code, there's a spectacularly brief moment in which a tiny piece of its surface snaps open to ...

HIV is a lifelong infection that, without proper antiviral treatment, will kill cells of the immune system and leave individuals susceptible to infections and cancers. The longevity of this virus ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for ...

Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment ...

Wesley Sundquist, PhD, Samuels Professor and chair of biochemistry at the University of Utah, laid the foundation for the development of a highly effective, long-lasting prophylactic against HIV, ...

Seeing a glycoprotein on the envelope of the HIV virus snap open and shut in mere millionths of a second is giving investigators a new handle on the surface of the virus that could lead to broadly ...
