Background to the Research
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), impacts both the immune and metabolic systems of its host, ultimately affecting disease pathogenesis. Viral dormancy further complicates the eradication of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Apart from the development of HIV and/or treatment-associated…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/laboratory-infectious-and-acquired-diseases/formerpast-members
