A team from India has recently published its latest work that focuses on the development of HIV and novel coronavirus vaccines. The way the team tackles the two viruses is similar and it could potentially help for the creation of vaccines that work really well and that are inexpensive.

The latest national report from the UK shows that 2019 marks an important milestone. The rate of new HIV diagnoses has gone down significantly among all groups. The reduction is particularly notable among one high risk segment – gay and bisexual men.

UNAIDS released its latest report on HIV infection rates since 2010 to 2019. While the rate of new infections has slowed down significantly, the world is still far away from the goal set for 2020 and the projected elimination of the HIV virus by 2030.

Elite controllers are a very small group of people whose immune system can suppress the HIV virus without the need for additional medications. A recent study carried out among a group of elite controllers has discovered exactly how their immunity works.

Three quarters of the women who are HIV-positive live in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is why UNAIDS is putting a lot of work and effort into the research and development of a preventative option for these women. New announcements suggest that the efforts are likely to pay off in the near future.
