To mark the 100 year anniversary of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, which infected 1/5th of the world's population and claimed the lives of nearly 50 million people, we have put together a collection of our most highly accessed papers of 2018-2019 so far.
In this paper by Dr Chughtai et al. the authors analyse the presence of viruses on the outer surface of medical masks worn by healthcare workers and show that prolonged use may lead to self-contamination.

We are recruiting new Associate Editors to join our international editorial board, helping to provide expertise on a wide range of different subject disciplines.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Prof Andrea De Luca, who tragically passed away on February 4th 2019 in a car accident. Prof De Luca, who was based at the University of Siena, Italy, dedicated many years of his life to clinical research on the treatment of HIV and hepatitis, HIV drug resistance, the toxicity of antiretrovirals as well as the impact of hepatitis virus co-infections.
As a valued member of our editorial board, his death is a tremendous loss to our journal, but more importantly to the field of HIV research, where his efforts and contributions will live on.
