hVIVO is the new name of Retroscreen Virology! (from 15 April 2015). hVIVO is a rapidly growing UK life sciences company pioneering a technology platform which uses human challenge models of disease involving healthy volunteers to study new drugs and investigate disease in a safe, controlled, clinical environment. Our belief is that the best way to understand human disease is by studying it in humans, not laboratory models.

: 30 years on – a chance to end AIDs
30 years on – a chance to end AIDS
Dear Supporter,
Today is World AIDS Day – 30 years after the first case was identified. In that time 30 million people have died as a result of AIDS. But, as our short film shows, incredible advances in science made this year mean that for the first time we can speak credibly about bringing an end to AIDS.
We need your help to make sure our leaders grasp this chance. Ask David Cameron to declare his commitment to bringing an end to AIDS.
The results of a huge clinical trial published in May prove that if people living with HIV receive anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment, it prevents the spread of the virus to their partner. It's an incredible 96% effective!
ARVs are already keeping nearly 7 million people with HIV alive and healthy around the world. There are still 9 million awaiting this life-saving medication. By getting those people on to treatment sooner we'll be saving their lives and helping to stop the spread of HIV. Watch our film from South Africa to find out more about the impact of the trial.
This ground-breaking evidence gives us a fantastic new tool to fight the epidemic. When coupled with a combination of other effective prevention, treatment and care efforts which we know work it can be even more effective. A study published this year shows that a modest short-term increase in funding and a focus on the most at risk groups could save 12 million lives and result in a steady decline in the epidemic by 2020.
Earlier this month Hillary Clinton committed the creating an AIDS-free generation. We need you to become one of thousands of voices calling on the Prime Minister to grasp this opportunity to lead the world in bringing an end to AIDS.
Please follow this link to ask the PM to commit the UK to bringing an end to the AIDS crisis within a generation.
Please share the film and the e-action with your friends. Let's make the 30th year of the AIDS epidemic the year we start writing its final chapter.
With thanks,
Diarmaid
Please write to Prime Minister Cameron asking him to make bringing an end to the AIDS crisis within a generation a government priority
