Two Frenchmen and a German won the 2008 Nobel Prize in medicine for their discoveries of viruses that cause HIV and cervical cancer, the organization's Web site said Monday.
Francoise Barre-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier of France were honored "for their discovery of human immunodeficiency virus." ... Harald zur Hausen of Germany was cited "for his discovery of human papilloma viruses causing cervical cancer" in women.
