Abstract

HIV-AIDS has been a part of nightmares for last 25 years, since its discovery. In such a long period, research has posed no real threat to advent of this virus into human species. Incredible mutational rate of HIV has caused failure of almost all the drugs and every vaccine that the authors have devised. Recent advances in Bioinformatics tools and Data generation/mining algorithms, has facilitated in understanding evolutionary trends of HIV as well those of Humans against HIV. This has opened up new targets for drugs and vaccines to arrest the reign of HIV virus.
