The old virus most closely resembled those from subtype C—the most prevalent lineage of HIV, and one that dominates in southern Africa today. But the 1966 virus wasn’t actually part of that group.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug that reduces the chances of contracting HIV. A University of Utah ...

HIV, which stands for human immunodeficiency virus, spreads through certain body fluids that attack the body's immune system, including T cells.

HIV can cut and paste in human genome Date: May 27, 2014 Source: Aarhus University Summary: A technology that uses the HIV virus as a tool in the fight against hereditary diseases -- and in the ...

A small percentage of HIV patients may naturally reach a “functional cure,” isolating the virus into parts of the human genome so remote, it is unable to replicate, according to new research.

Once inside human cells, HIV integrates the viral genome into that of the human host. Ultimately, the virus uses our body's ...

WORCESTER, MA -The virus that causes AIDS is an efficient and crafty retrovirus. Once HIV inserts its DNA into the genome of its host cells, it has a long incubation period, and can remain dormant ...
