title: 25 years of HIV/AIDS science: reaching the poor with research advances.
abstract: Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the recognition of what we now call AIDS. The AIDS pandemic has claimed more than 25 million lives, the majority of them in the developing world, and has exacerbated poverty and slowed human development. Although much has been accomplished in HIV/AIDS research, much remains to be done, especially regarding delivery of HIV/AIDS therapies and care and prevention interventions to the poorest countries that need them most.
