Welcome to HKU-AIDS INSTITUTE
Dr . Zhiwei Chen was invited to contribute one chapter, titled “HIV virology and immunology”, to the HIV Manual for medical practitioners and students in Hong Kong. The HIV Manual (HIV Manual 3rd edition) will be able to view via below channels:
1. Web version is now housed in the Manual's new homepage at http://www.hivmanual.hk/.
2. Two Apps versions have been created. The Android one can be accessed through Google Play. This is the URL http://goo.gl/IORMfC . You can also find the QR code on the Manual's main page. The iPhone version can be found in iTune Store.
3. Print versions are prepared by the Department of Health .
4. Virtual Link to an interactive table on all antiretrovirals. This tool has been developed separately. This is available from http://www.antihivmed.hk/ and is also linked to the Manual.
5. A facebook page would also be created, which would facilitate the collection of comments, or picking up errors and advice to improve the Manual in the coming years. The content development, web and Apps are funded by Council for the AIDS Trust Fund, while the hard copy is supported by Department of Health. These would be available free to users, which hopefully include health workers and students.
The Steering Committee provides advice to the AIDS Institute on its development and operation.
The Scientific Advisory Board provides independent advices on broad scientific issues including strategies, development, research structure and priorities of the Institute.

AIDS stands for "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome."
A syndrome is a cluster of medical conditions. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which weakens the body's immune system.
