HIV/AIDS research focuses on understanding the HIV virus, which attacks the immune system, leading to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Scientists study how the virus spreads, its effects on the body, and ways to prevent infection. This research is crucial for developing effective treatments and vaccines. Researchers also explore the social and economic impacts of HIV/AIDS on communities. They investigate factors like stigma, access to healthcare, and education to improve prevention strategies. Ongoing studies aim to enhance the quality of life for those living with HIV and reduce the overall incidence of AIDS.
