Chronic HIV-1 infection frequently fails to protect against superinfection
Natural HIV-1 infection does not always elicit a protective immune response, according to a new study published November 16 in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-11-16)
Infertility clinics are biased against patients with HIV
Infertility clinics are biased against patients infected with HIV, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2001-11-28)
Effects of bacterial pneumonia no worse for HIV-positive patients
Pneumonia doesn't appear to harm HIV-positive patients any more than those without HIV, according to a new international study conducted in part by the University of Alberta. view more (2005-09-28)
Many pregnant women avoid HIV screening in Africa
'Prevention is the best cure' is a common expression, but what happens if preventative measures are not used? A large proportion of pregnant Ugandan women are going out of their way not to be HIV tested, increasing the risk of mother-to-child transmission. view more (2009-11-20)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
AIDS surpasses black death as deadliest disease in history
In terms of illness and death, AIDS is worse than the Black Death of the 14th century. Ninety five per cent of new infections of HIV are in the world's poor countries and heterosexual transmission is responsible for most of these, reports Peter Lamptey, in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-23)
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)
HIV patients at greater risk for bone fractures
HIV-infected patients have a higher prevalence of fractures than non HIV-infected patients, across both genders and critical fracture sites according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-08-28)
New technology opens gateway to studying HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies
Many scientists believe a vaccine that prevents HIV infection will need to stimulate the body to make neutralizing antibodies, infection-fighting proteins that prevent HIV from entering immune cells. view more (2009-03-16)
Study finds genetic influence on pace of HIV/AIDS progression
Viral load-the amount of virus in the blood of an HIV-infected person-has long been viewed as the chief indicator of how quickly someone infected with HIV infection progresses to AIDS. view more (2007-10-23)
Europe becoming complacent over HIV prevention
Rising levels of gonorrhoea and syphilis across western Europe since 1995 imply that complacency over HIV prevention efforts may have set in among individuals and some governments, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Angus Nicoll and Francoise Hamers examined national trends in diagnosed HIV infections, gonorrhoea, and infectious syphilis from... view more... (2002-05-28)
Testing times: Detecting HIV in resource-limited settings
Integrating HIV testing programmes into primary medical care can help achieve early diagnosis of HIV infection, even in relatively poor areas, research published in the online open access journal AIDS Research and Therapy has shown. view more (2007-11-29)
Male circumcision 'could prevent millions of AIDS deaths'
Researchers involved with a 'landmark' trial, which found evidence that male circumcision (MC) could reduce the chance of becoming infected with HIV, have published an analysis estimating the likely impact of expanding the practice of MC across Africa. view more (2006-07-11)
Protein identified that turns off HIV-fighting T cells
In HIV-infected patients the body's immune system is unable to fight off the virus. A new study to be published online on November 10th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that T cells in HIV-infected individuals express a protein called TIM-3, which inactivates their virus killing capacity. view more (2008-11-10)
Researchers cast doubt on hypothesis that stigma fuels HIV epidemic
The dominant view in the public health community is that the stigma of being HIV positive fuels the HIV epidemic, and yet there is a lack of evidence to support this view. view more (2006-10-31)
Challenges of HIV-1 subtype diversity
A review article in the New England Journal of Medicine explores the genetic variation of HIV-1 and its implications for preventing and treating the disease. Francine McCutchan, Ph.D., a researcher with the U.S. Military HIV Research Program, co-authored the article, which appeared in the April 10, 2008 edition. view more (2008-05-22)
HIV-infected infants respond poorly to childhood vaccination
It is known that HIV-infected children who do not receive appropriate antiretroviral drugs experience immune depression, and may become susceptible to infectious diseases that would otherwise be prevented by childhood immunization. view more (2007-12-05)
HIV positive and HIV negative patients have similar survival rates following liver transplant
HIV positive and HIV negative patients have comparable survival rates following liver transplant, according to new research presented today at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-24)
Circumcision for prevention of HIV: new analysis demonstrates cost-effectiveness
A team of researchers who conducted a landmark trial in Orange Farm, South Africa, which concluded that male circumcision can sub stantially reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV, have now studied the economic aspects of this approach to preventing HIV/AIDS. view more (2006-12-26)
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)
