Video: AIDS - Evolution of an Epidemic
In this four part lecture series, Bruce Walker M.D. and Bisola Ojikutu M.D., M.P.H. discuss why it has been so hard to develop a vaccine against HIV and how new medicines are revolutionizing AIDS treatment. This is a webcast of a course which was taught to highschool students at HHMI during the 2007 holiday season. |

Video: HIV life cycle (courtesy of HHMI)
How HIV infects a cell and replicates itself using reverse transcriptase and the host's cellular machinery. |

Video: Antigen presentation and CTL (courtesy of HHMI)
How a cell infected by a virus signals cytotoxic T lymphocytes to kill the cell before the virus replicates and spreads.

Video: AZT blocks reverse transcriptase (courtesy of HHMI)
HIV's reverse transcriptase mistakes AZT for thymidine. Once incorporated, AZT stops reverse transcription. |

Educational Resources for HIV Providers |
| |
Continuing Medical Education Programs: Members of the Ragon Institute are frequent participants in courses offered by Harvard Medical School Department of Continuing Education programs.
Harvard Medical School's Division of AIDS website provides information about AIDS related programs, initiatives and collaborations between Harvard Medical School, Harvard University and affiliated institutions, including the HMS CFAR program.
The National CFAR (Centers for AIDS Research) program and website are valuable resources for AIDS related information.
The mission of the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research (HU CFAR) is to expand, promote, and facilitate collaborative, multidisciplinary activities in HIV/AIDS research, education and training among CFAR members and associate members throughout the University, in order to help end the AIDS pandemic. |
