Top Stories in HIV Medicine
Happy New Year!
In the spirit of list-making that seems to permeate the world right about this time, we’ve just published our own list over at AIDS Clinical Care. Check it out — our editorial board this year did a superb job of summarizing the field.
I have a strong feeling that next year’s version will have some much more hopeful news on prevention, perhaps through pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), or treatment as prevention, or both.
As for advances in vaccines, um … perhaps the less said the better?
