40 YEARS OF HIV
HIV-AIDS: a virus master of evasion
To mark the 40th anniversary of the identification of HIV, the Research Journal at pasteur.fr features several articles on the hopes raised by HIV-AIDS research with a selection of topics taken from the dedicated press kit. The newsletter team gives you the opportunity to find out more about this master of evasion which is closely monitored by the Institut Pasteur's research experts.
