H I V/ AIDS
HIV/AIDS has many faces. On the research side there are new therapies to be invented. New drugs with new mechanisms are needed to beat the ever present threat of drug resistance. Vaccines and microbicides are still not on the market, and antiretroviral drugs that are on the market in western countries are still waiting to get the green light to be produced and made available in developing countries.
