The immune system holds powerful potential in the search for an HIV cure.

amfAR grantee Rachel Rutishauser, MD, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco is building on her earlier immunotherapy research to explore new ways of helping the body recognize and fight HIV-infected cells.

Supported by amfAR’s 2025 Target Grant, Dr. Rutishauser, in collaboration with Brad Jones at Weill Cornell Medicine, is exploring ways to reprogram immune cells directly inside the body, potentially making these approaches more accessible and advancing efforts toward long-term HIV/AIDS control.

Charlize Theron took the stage at the amfAR Dallas gala, joining us in reaffirming the importance of continued advocacy, lifesaving research, and collective action towards finding a cure for HIV.

"Every day, around 570 young women and girls between the ages of 15 and 24 become infected with HIV. Only about half of the children living with HIV are on the medication they need."

We’re grateful for her longstanding commitment to our mission of creating a future free from HIV/AIDS.
