Abstract
22 years ago, the first cases of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome afflicting young, homosexual American men were reported, heralding what we now know to be the beginning of the HIV epidemic. Since then, billions of US dollars have been invested in HIV research in the hope of gaining a better understanding of this infection and how to prevent and treat it.
