Advancements in HIV science

As far as viruses go, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is quite simple. About 100,000 times smaller than a red blood cell, the virus expresses just a dozen proteins, yet it can establish a lifelong infection that, if left untreated, causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and death.
