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.

US researchers may have unlocked how HIV goes into stealth mode in the human body - the reason why its so hard to find a cure.

They showed how HIV tricks human cells into going dormant and invisible to immune system and HIV drugs.
