In lab tests, the team identified a cellular “switch” that could be turned off to clear out the virus lying dormant inside cells. Currently, people with HIV undergo a life-long treatment ...

Scientists have discovered that HIV does not cause AIDS by the virus's direct effect on the host's immune cells, but rather through the cells' lethal influence on one another. In a new study, the ...

The Johns Hopkins team that conducted the new study had previously shown that the molecule of interest, an “antisense ...

Genetically engineered immune cells can spot the AIDS virus even when it tries to disguise itself, offering a potential new way to treat the incurable infection, researchers reported on Sunday ...

HIV infects CD4 cells by first binding to a cell's surface and releasing its genetic material into the cell. Then, the virus hijacks cellular machinery to weave its genetic material into the cell ...

(CBS/AP) Stem cells have been credited with all sorts of medical magic. Now it looks as if they may have cured a man of his HIV infection. In 2007, the 40-something-year-old American underwent a ...

While the unidentified HIV patient — known only as the Dusseldorf patient — is the third to be cured through a stem cell transplant, he's now the fifth person ever cured of the virus.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) weakens your body's immune system by attacking your white blood cells. Find out more about causes and treatment.

A woman who received a stem cell transplant to treat her HIV is still virus-free more than five years after the procedure and 30 months after she stopped taking HIV medication.
