The HIV Science MOOC returns in November in an updated 2025 edition. It integrates the latest therapeutic advances, including lenacapavir, and unpacks current epidemiological challenges, notably the impact of reduced U.S. funding on the Global Fund. Join international experts for up-to-date scientific and clinical insights, from viral reservoirs to prevention strategies.

In this MOOC we will review different aspects of HIV infection: from its biological origin and its identification as the causative agent of AIDS to the perspectives of eradication.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Summarize the status of the HIV epidemic in the world
• Describe the immune mechanisms to tackle the virus and how HIV is able to evade them
• Report exceptional individuals who control the infection and animal models of spontaneous protection
• Obtain insights into viral reservoirs and state of the art knowledge on post-treatment control
• Explain clinical management of HIV infection
• Discuss the future perspectives on treatment and prevention.
