HIV Virus Creative artwork featuring colorized 3D prints of HIV virus particles. The virus surface (red) is covered with proteins (dark blue) that enable the virus to enter and infect human cells, and additional proteins (teal spheres) that disguise the virus from the immune system. A colorized transmission micrograph of an H9 T cell (blue) appears in the background. Note: proteins not to scale.
