AIDS Research Information for Asia

TREAT Asia offers a series of topical publications that highlight and summarize recent research of particular interest to the HIV/AIDS community in Asia. The goal of these articles is to present advances in the fields of prevention, treatment, and basic science that may otherwise be difficult for community members to hear about or understand. Results from TREAT Asia research publications are provided as Research Summaries, while other scientific publications are profiled in the TREAT Asia Report.  Those that have been translated into local languages are available as PDFs.
