back to top HIV & AIDS Science
To understand how HIV behaves inside a human body, researchers have spent time studying the virus using both humans and animals for trials.
The 'HIV/AIDS Science Topics' linked on this page will help you understand HIV behaviour and life cycle, viral load, antiretrovirals, microbicides and other vaccine developments.
There is also information about the origins of HIV and evidence that researchers have put together over the years to prove that untreated HIV causes AIDS.
