40 years after the discovery of HIV, research raises hopes of remission
Nearly 39 million people worldwide are carriers of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and 1.3 million people contracted HIV in 2022[1]. Forty years after the virus was discovered at the Institut Pasteur, HIV research is still active – the aim is to elucidate the mechanisms of infection so that the virus can be eradicated. A concerted global effort has led to considerable progress in knowledge....
