The Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of research in HIV/AIDS, including basic science, clinical science, and epidemiology. It is currently published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. It seems that the editorial intent for its official title is still to end in … Syndromes, although the logo on its website shows … Syndrome as of June 2017, possibly by a graphic-art error.
