Brief description We cannot afford to be complacent in the search for improved anti HIV drugs for 2 principal reasons; First, worldwide a staggering 66% of infected individuals who need treatment are still unable to access therapy; and Second, the main reason why most treated patients are now living longer and more healthy lives is because we have never stopped developing newer therapies to provide options for patients. In this study we will develop and test newer drugs that block HIV infection of cells.
