World AIDS Day: HIV is on the decline. Science, however, never stops.

Today, it is possible to live with HIV: treatments can block the virus until it becomes undetectable and non-transmissible. But this balance remains fragile: without funding and research, there will be less screening, less prevention, and more infections.

In this video, Michaela Müller-Trutwin and Asier Sáez-Cirión, researchers at the Institut Pasteur, explain why support for HIV research remains crucial and how new avenues are opening up towards lasting remission.

In 40 years, immense progress has been made. Let's stay mobilized.

This video is part of World AIDS Day, December 1, 2025, to remind us that science and research save lives.
