The science of AIDS and its impact on the developing world. In 1995, AIDS research stands at a crossroads. Over the past 10 years, much of the research on AIDS has centred on trying to find a cure or a vaccine, with very limited results. While more has been learnt about AIDS in a short time than about almost any other disease, many of the basic questions about the development of AIDS and the behaviour of HIV, the virus which leads to AIDS, remain unanswered.
