Last year was disaster for an HIV vaccine trial. This year? A new way forward
A cutting edge pan-African HIV vaccine trial lost funding last year when the Trump administration shut down much of foreign aid. The setback was devastating but the researchers refused to give up.

Women living with HIV are guaranteed the right to health, but nearly 1 in 5 report reproductive coercion. Health systems continue to deny us safety, dignity, and choice. A right that is not enforced is not protection. It is permission to harm.

HIV and the Gut: Why It Matters for a Cure

When people think about HIV, they often think of it in the blood — but one of the main places HIV hides is actually in the gut.

HIV and the gut: Why it matters for a cure
The gut represents one of the biggest challenges to curing HIV. It contains most of the body’s immune cells, making it a complicated hiding place for the virus.
