First reported in the United States in 1981, AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency virus). HIV weakens a person’s ability to fight infections by weakening the immune system.
Although not curable, HIV is a manageable, chronic disease. Our dedicated HIV researchers conduct basic and clinical research to improve HIV/AIDS prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and complication management. Our research goals are advancement of our knowledge of this disease and improved clinical care of patients.
