Research on Tap: Working Towards an HIV Cure (2019)
More than three decades after the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS, we’re still looking for a cure. Current HIV antiretroviral therapies suppress virus expression, reduce transmission and decrease morbidity and mortality of HIV-associated diseases. However, a number of barriers still stand in the way of eradicating HIV, including access to testing and care, adherence to treatment, lack of social networks, substance use and a poor understanding of how the virus hides from a person’s immune response. Overcoming these barriers will require a multidiscipline effort that includes basic, translational, clinical, and social scientists.
This session features BU research efforts towards understanding HIV infection and pathogenesis and to foster new interests and collaborations in our work towards an HIV cure. Download the event agenda.
