Learn how the molecule EBC-46 could advance how HIV is treated and how researchers discovered it.

Curing HIV will be harder than curing cancer. Apart from a few 'miracle' cases, antiretrovirals only suppress HIV, they don't kill it. But new research is promising.

A Brisbane man who took part in the University of Queensland’s aborted Covid vaccine trial is still returning “false positive” HIV tests four years later.

The HIV-1 capsid is formed by a mesh of around 200 protein hexamers and pentamers, arranged similarly to a football. It is, however, not spherical, but shaped like a cone, with a narrow and a ...

Recent studies showed that a peptide, the protein transduction domain (PTD) from HIV Tat, could improve the distribution of cytoplasmic reporter proteins when administered systemically as fusion ...

FACT: False. An experimental vaccine developed by Professor Keith Chappell, a molecular virologist, in 2020 incorporated a small HIV protein segment but posed no risk of HIV transmission.

Sir Keir Starmer becomes the first Western prime minister to take an HIV test in an effort to destigmatise testing for the ...

Monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, are important tools in medicine. These laboratory-made proteins are widely used in treatments ...

some of the antibodies were not binding directly to the HIV viral antigen, but to immune molecules on its surface. "These antibodies actually make no direct contact with the viral protein," says ...

The narration suggests that the spike protein stabilizer in the vaccine contains "HIV fragments." Spike proteins are structures found on the surface of certain viruses, including the coronavirus.
