Dong Pyou Han admitted that he intentionally spiked rabbit blood samples with human antibodies to give the impression that the vaccine was working.

An HIV vaccine works in mice, human trials could begin in two years.

Trying to stop the human immunodeficiency virus—HIV—has not been too successful until recent history. But that does not mean that we are out of the woods yet. Still, the new developments show great promise; and one, in particular is incredibly innovative. “This compound can be the precursor for something that can be used in the future as part of a cocktail to treat HIV that improves on the effective medicines we have today,” explains study author Harry Taylor.

HIV infection rates are soaring in Russia, but there is a reluctance to address the issue.

Texas has the third-highest number of HIV diagnoses in the country and one of the highest teen birth rates nationwide

1996 is usually regarded as the year HIV changed. With the development and approval of the regimen of antiretroviral drugs known as HAART (highly-active antiretroviral therapy), an HIV infection no longer meant (or means) a lingering, painful death of colluding opportunistic infections. HAART offers at least the possibility of a reasonably normal and healthy life and lifespan. And more often than not it delivers.

Researchers say that they have developed an HIV treatment capable of blocking infection in monkeys for more than 40 weeks after being administered.

Researchers have detected a new strain of HIV in patients in Cuba. The progression to AIDS happens much faster than in other strains of the virus.

A Lufkin man has accepted a 50-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to killing a woman after learning she had HIV after he had sex with her. Justin Welch, 23, entered the plea in District Judge Bob Inselmann's courtroom. “Guilty,” Welch said. “Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?” Inselmann asked. “Yes sir,” Welch said.

An HIV doctor offers help with a difficult decision.

Pastor Steven Anderson has suggested that executing homosexuals will cure AIDS.

HIV is evolving to become less deadly and less infectious, according to a major scientific study. The team at the University of Oxford shows the virus is being "watered down" as it adapts to our immune systems. It said it was taking longer for HIV infection to cause Aids and that the changes in the virus may help efforts to contain the pandemic.

The genetic mechanism that allowed two men to be "spontaneously cured" of HIV has been discovered by scientists. The researchers, from France's Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), said the two patients they studied were not unique and the phenomenon of being cured of HIV is the result of an evolutionary shift between some humans and the virus.

As a new Ebola case is diagnosed in the U.S., learning from lessons of the past can point the way to beating this outbreak.

The origin of the Aids pandemic has been traced to the 1920s in the city of Kinshasa, in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, scientists say. An international team of scientists say a "perfect storm" of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to spread.

A doctor in rural Liberia inundated with Ebola patients says he's had good results with a treatment he tried out of sheer desperation: an HIV drug. Dr. Gobee Logan has given the drug, lamivudine, to 15 Ebola patients, and all but two survived. That's a 7% mortality rate. Across West Africa, the virus has killed 70% of its victims.

Oregon researchers developing a vaccine that has shown promise in preventing HIV infection in primates said on Wednesday they have been awarded a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Oregon Health & Science University scientists, in announcing the award, said they hope to develop a vaccine that not only prevents the HIV virus from infecting people exposed to it, but also eliminates the virus from those already infected.

HIV is a sneaky virus. Its MO involves integrating its own genes into your DNA, so that even as antiretrovirals hold everything in check, HIV lurks quietly inside your cells. Now scientists have found a way to edit the virus straight out of the human genome—a potential cure for even latent infections.
