The Extended Impact of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/AIDS Research

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the most extensively studied viruses in history, and numerous extraordinary scientific advances, including an in-depth understanding of viral biology, pathogenesis, and life-saving antiretroviral therapies, have resulted from investments in HIV/AIDS research. While the substantial investments in HIV/AIDS research are validated solely on these advances, the collateral broader scientific progress resulting from the support of HIV/AIDS research over the past 30 years is extraordinary as well. The positive impact has ranged from innovations in basic immunology and structural biology to treatments for immune-mediated diseases and cancer and has had an enormous effect on the research and public and global health communities well beyond the field of HIV/AIDS. This article highlights a few select examples of the unanticipated and substantial positive spin-offs of HIV/AIDS research on other scientific areas.
