Leaders in HIV Research and Treatment
Duke researchers played integral roles in the development of several key drugs used to treat HIV, including AZT (zidovudine) and T20 (enfuvirtide). We provide compassionate, caring treatment to people with HIV. We use the latest therapies available, connect you with a physician who will take care of you every step of your journey, and provide ongoing social work support in a comforting, nonjudgmental environment.
