Abstract
It has been nearly three decades since the discovery of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The collective global research efforts on HIV-1 in the past 30 years have drastically changed HIV-1 infection from a previous 'death sentence' to a manageable clinical condition – providing adequate access of anti-retroviral therapy is available. Throughout this period, along with their colleagues around the globe, Australian researchers have made significant contributions to HIV-1 research in a number of areas, including but not limited to clinical research, basic science, plus more recently in HIV-1 cure research.
