From early studies to clinical trials, this remarkable process of discovery has produced lifesaving antiretroviral drugs, medications that prevent HIV infection and block mother-child-transmission, and interventions that have cured more than 10 people of HIV to date. Our focus on innovation continues to unlock insights into next-generation technologies and therapies applicable to a range of diseases.
