For decades scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen.

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 ...

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 ...

The tiny shell protecting the HIV virus resembles a slightly rounded ice cream cone, but there is nothing sweet about it. More than 40 million people worldwide live with AIDS because of this virus, ...

Long-acting antiviral medications are transforming HIV prevention and care, requiring only minimalistic dosing. But as the use of lenacapavir expands, scientists are probing a critical question: If ...

A dual-action HIV antibody–drug conjugate forces Env to open, then blocks it, boosting virus neutralization up to tenfold in the lab.

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain. While symptoms can now be better managed with lifelong treatment, there is ...
