Anti-HIV gel proven safe, tolerable for women
An experimental anti-HIV gel is safe for women to use on a daily basis, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. view more (2008-02-26)
Spermicide Gel Could Increase Risk Of HIV-1 Infection
A common spermicide gel which has previously been proposed as a preventative agent against HIV-1 infection has been shown to be ineffective, according to authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET-and could actually increase HIV-1 transmission if used frequently. Nonoxynol-9 is an inexpensive over-the-counter spermicide; laboratory... view more... (2002-09-25)
Asthma risk increases in children treated for HIV
Children whose immune systems rebound after treatment with potent anti-viral drugs for HIV infection face an increased risk of developing asthma, said a federally funded consortium of researchers led by those from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. view more (2008-07-02)
NIAID media availability: New strategy proposed for designing antibody-based HIV vaccine
Most vaccines that protect against viruses generate infection-fighting proteins called antibodies that either block infection or help eliminate the virus before it can cause disease. view more (2009-06-15)
Anti-HIV drug has potential to prevent transmission in women
A new study from infectious disease researchers at The Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School finds that a drug already given orally to treat HIV is also safe when applied as a vaginal microbicide gel. view more (2006-02-10)
Transmission of drug-resistant HIV-1
Drug-resistant forms of HIV can be spread between individuals who have not received anti-retroviral treatment. view more (2009-03-30)
Protecting HIV patients from Hepatitis B virus
Since the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are so similar, individuals infected with one of these viruses are at a significantly increased risk for contracting the other. view more (2007-07-18)
An HIV-blocking gel for women
University of Utah scientists developed a new kind of "molecular condom" to protect women from AIDS in Africa and other impoverished areas. Before sex, women would insert a vaginal gel that turns semisolid in the presence of semen, trapping AIDS virus particles in a microscopic mesh so they can't infect vaginal cells. view more (2009-08-10)
Exciting Development in Anti-Retroviral Drug Discovery Made at Oxford
Researchers in Oxford University's Sir William Dunn School of Pathology have developed a novel HTS for identifying antiretroviral (HIV) agents/drugs that inhibit HIV infectivity. Current anti-viral drugs prolong the quality of life for many HIV-1+ individuals, but they do not stop the virus from infecting new cells. Since these drugs mostly... view more... (2003-06-05)
Waking up dormant HIV
HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) has emerged as an extremely effective HIV treatment that keeps virus levels almost undetectable; however, HAART can never truly eradicate the virus as some HIV always remains dormant in cells. view more (2009-03-17)
Safety of new microbicide for HIV prevention to be tested in young women in US trial
Nearly half of all people infected with HIV/AIDS are now women, the majority of whom contracted the disease through sexual intercourse with male partners. view more (2007-07-10)
Clinical trial finds microbicide promising as HIV prevention method for women
A clinical trial involving more than 3,000 women in the U.S. and southern Africa demonstrates for the first time the promise of a vaginal microbicide gel for preventing HIV infection in women. view more (2009-03-06)
ABC-transporters expressed on endothelial cell membranes efflux anti-HIV drugs
Researchers at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans (USA) have discovered that drug-efflux pumps, belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, are constitutively expressed on vascular endothelial cells. view more (2008-08-27)
Natural fats can prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
A fat commonly found in foodstuffs such as milk can rapidly destroy sexually transmitted viruses and bacteria, including HIV, researchers have discovered. The search for another method to prevent sexually acquired infections has intensified since reports that frequent use of commercially available spermicidal products may be toxic to the vagina... view more...

Innovative Gel Reduces Post-Operative Pain Following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
A gel made from a patient's own blood reduces pain and may improve wound healing following endoscopic sinus surgery according to researchers at Rush University Medical Center. view more (2005-10-14)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
Aloe vera coating may prolong freshness, safety of fruits and vegetables
Aloe vera gel is best known for its therapeutic effect on burned or irritated skin, but in the future you could be eating the gel as a healthful additive to your fruits and veggies. view more (2005-09-22)
HIV vaccine takes different tack to boosting immune response
esearchers at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston have reason to believe their unorthodox vaccine could one day help to prevent or control HIV infection. view more (2006-01-03)
Trial examines diaphragm use in preventing HIV in women
A clinical trial involving 5,045 women in South Africa and Zimbabwe found no statistical difference in the rate of new HIV infections in the two study arms: those who received a diaphragm plus lubricant along with male condoms for their partners and those who only received male condoms. view more (2007-07-13)
A new step towards an AIDS vaccine
Progressive disease after HIV infection is inversely correlated with the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), a subset of the dendritic cell family and the major producers of type 1 interferon in the body. view more (2005-10-14)
