For the first time in 19 years, a team of scientists has detected a new strain of HIV. The strain is a part of the Group M version of HIV-1, the same family of virus subtypes to blame for the global ...

HIV-1 continues to pose a significant public health challenge on a global scale, with its epidemiology and genetic variance intricately linked to patterns of transmission and disease progression.

Understanding the structure-function relationship in respect to the exogenous roles of Tat may have important clinical implications, both for the development of new vaccines against AIDS targeting Tat ...

A multinational team led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators developed a test that will help measure the persistence of HIV in people affected by viral strains found predominantly in Africa - a ...

Co-receptor tropism has been identified to correlate with HIV-1 transmission and the disease progression in patients. A molecular epidemiology investigation of co-receptor tropism is important for ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses like the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are highly vulnerable to evolving over time as a result of their error-prone replication process.

Left: Structure of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Note the envelope protein that protects the virus against immunological detection and the small genome consisting of two short strands of RNA ...
