The Broad Benefits of AIDS Research
Many new treatments for diseases such as cancer, kidney and heart disease, COVID-19, and hepatitis have arisen from research on HIV/AIDS.
Unmasking the Power of the Pediatric Immune System
In a new study, researchers examine the impact of long-term antiretroviral therapy started during infancy on the HIV reservoir.
Predicting Changes in the HIV Reservoir
Researchers zero in on a marker, sugar-protein Galectin-9, that might be able to target HIV persistence, the main barrier to a cure for people living with the virus.

Publications from amfAR Grantees and Fellows
Each month, the findings of amfAR-funded researchers (names in bold) are published in peer-reviewed journals, which are listed below by month of publication. In each case you can click on the “ABSTRACT” link for a brief summary of the research paper as it appears in the journal. In some cases, you can click on the “READ MORE” link to access related articles written for a lay audience by amfAR staff.
