To become infectious, HIV has to undergo a maturation process, which involves a rearrangement of the matrix proteins (red).

the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow) near the end of the budding process; the cell they’ve infected is in blue.

That's why scientists studying AIDS continue to search for weak spots in the virus's infection cycle. HIV inserts its genes into the host cell's nucleus ... get a good structure of it." ...

HIV is a virus. Viruses are microscopic germs that are unable to multiply (replicate) by themselves. Instead, they need to find and infect a cell that will act as a host in which new viruses can be ...

HIV incorporates its DNA into the DNA of every cell it infects, meaning the virus cannot be completely eliminated from the body. Therefore antiretroviral therapy is not a cure, and people with HIV ...

Protein crystallization at the SER-CAT beamline at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source proved key to the discovery of a new HIV vaccine candidate.

Her research and others' show that the virus uses a counterattack that breaks down APOBEC3's defenses, helping HIV win and establish an infection. "There is a battle going on in the cell," said ...

This molecule, known as EBC-46, works by temporarily activating the HIV virus in the affected cells as they hide so that the body’s immune system can remove the virus, according to a study published ...

or other bodily fluids that contain the virus. HIV targets the immune system and invades T cells, which are white blood cells that fight infection. The virus then replicates (makes copies of ...
