HIV/AIDS is a global health challenge of profound significance. AIDS is the advanced stage of a viral infection caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The virus primarily targets the immune system, progressively weakening the body's ability to fend off infections and diseases.

Ongoing research in virology, immunology, gene expression, and public health continues to advance our knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved the prognosis for individuals living with HIV, helping manage the infection and reduce transmission risks.

WPI experts on HIV/AIDS are at the forefront of research and innovation in the field and are committed to advancing our understanding of this global health challenge and to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by the virus.
