This paper presents TA-RAG, a prompt-based framework that adds explicit tone control to retrieval-augmented generation for sensitive health communication, such as HIV peer support, without requiring fine-tuning. It evaluates components like stigma-free rewriting, readability, recipient adaptation, and empathy rephrasing.

This paper introduces CAST, a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for strategically allocating HIV treatment resources to virally unsuppressed individuals in a transmission network to minimize new infections, outperforming existing baselines on real-world networks.

Early clinical trial results show that repurposing CAR-T cell therapy, originally used for cancer, can help control HIV long-term. Two patients achieved undetectable HIV levels after a single infusion and stopped medications, suggesting a potential functional cure.
