Scientific interest in the search for a cure for HIV/AIDS intensifies as the International AIDS Society and the NIH announce plans to launch their own cure initiatives.

amfAR marks its 25th year with the amfAR25 campaign, launched at the annual New York Gala honoring Founding International Chairman Elizabeth Taylor, President Bill Clinton, and Diane Von Furstenberg.

Founding International Chairman Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79 and is remembered around the world for her pioneering contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS.

A landmark research study shows that putting healthy people living with HIV on antiretrovirals can limit their transmission of the virus by 96 percent.

More than 1.1 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 33 million people are living with HIV/AIDS around the world.
