We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported our vision for a world where HIV is no longer a threat to health or happiness. Together we have made a difference.
Where did HIV come from? The most common form came from chimpanzees in central Africa, probably entering the human population between 1890 and 1920 as a result of people hunting chimpanzees.
