U of M identifies cell line that is resistant to retroviruses, including HIV
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a protein that enables viruses such as HIV to infect cells and spread through the body. view more (2006-10-18)
Vaccine to cope with viral diversity in HIV
The ability of HIV-1 to develop high levels of genetic diversity and acquire mutations to escape immune pressures contributes to our difficulties in producing a vaccine. view more (2007-04-27)
An HIV Vaccine is within reach
An effective, affordable, and accessible HIV vaccine is 7-10 years away, according to scientists at the Medical Research Council of South Africa, in this week's BMJ. However, its success depends on a complex interplay of politics, science, and public-private partnerships. view more (2002-01-23)
The Role Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Malaria, And Tuberculosis On The Hiv-1/Aids Epidemic In Africa (p 2177)
The effect of HIV-1 on other infectious diseases in Africa is an increasing public health concern. In a review in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Elizabeth Corbett from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and the Harare Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe, and colleagues describe the role that three major... view more...

Gladstone scientists identify key factor that controls HIV latency
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes of Virology and Immunology (GIVI) have found another clue that may lead to eradication of HIV from infected patients who have been on antiretroviral therapy. view more (2009-06-26)
ACP recommends routine HIV screening for all patients
On World AIDS Day, the American College of Physicians (ACP) is giving doctors a call-to-action to routinely encourage HIV screening to all of their patients older than 13 years. This new practice guideline appears on the Annals of Internal Medicine Web site at www.annals.org. view more (2008-12-01)
Study shows link between alcohol consumption and HIV disease progression
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found a link between alcohol consumption and HIV disease progression in HIV-infected persons. view more (2007-08-21)
Contaminated needles not contributing to spread of HIV in Africa
Injections with dirty or contaminated needles are not contributing to the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa say researchers from Imperial College London and the Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe. view more (2005-02-21)
New findings indicate HIV/AIDS pandemic began around 1900, earlier than previously thought
New research indicates that the most pervasive global strain of HIV began spreading among humans between 1884 and 1924, not during the 1930s, as previously reported. view more (2008-10-02)
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT FOR HIV INFECTION (p1320)
It is well known that treatment of HIV-1 infection (that may lead to AIDS) has side effects, but there are few studies of how many people having treatment are affected by adverse reactions. In a study of 1160 people receiving antiretroviral treatment, published in The Lancet this week, Jacques Fallon and colleagues from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study... view more... (2001-10-17)
Patients and their doctors have different perceptions about HIV and its treatment
According to results of a nation-wide study published in the latest issue of SAGE Publications' Journal of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (JIAPAC), HIV positive patients and their doctors have very different views about the disease and how it's treated. view more (2006-05-22)
South Africa In Denial Over Number Of Deaths From HIV/AIDS
A recent study attempting to quantify misclassification of HIV/AIDS deaths concluded that for the year 2000-01, the number of deaths related to HIV/AIDS was likely to be almost three times as high as that published in the Government's statistical report compiled from death certificates. The study suggests that 80% of the excess deaths in men and... view more... (2005-02-09)
U of M researchers determine structure of protein that mutates DNA of the AIDS virus HIV-1
Understanding the structure of proteins involved in inhibiting HIV-1 infection could help in the battle against AIDS, and University of Minnesota researchers have taken a crucial step in that direction. view more (2008-02-21)
Girls born with HIV infection at higher risk for cervical problems
A generation of children born with HIV are now coming of age and reaching sexual maturity. Girls in this group who are sexually active are experiencing a higher number than expected of cervical abnormalities, a new study finds. view more (2007-04-27)
EARLY ASSESSMENT PREDICTS LONG-TERM EFFICACY OF HIV-1 ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (p 1760)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how very early (one week) assessment can reliably predict the long-term effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1. Early assessment of antiretroviral drug efficacy is important for the prevention of the emergence of drug-resistant virus and unnecessary exposure to ineffective and toxic... view more...

HIV's impact in Zimbabwe explored in new research
The impact of HIV in Zimbabwe since the early 1980s is explored in new research published this week in the journal PNAS. view more (2007-08-28)
Study shows suppressing herpes virus may reduce infectiousness of HIV
A recent study of men co-infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and HIV revealed that drugs used to suppress HSV decrease the levels of HIV in the blood and rectal secretions, which may make patients less likely to transmit the virus. view more (2007-11-16)
Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood. view more (2006-08-28)
New study suggests potential for a broadly-protective HIV vaccine
New research conducted at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) suggests that it may be possible to develop a vaccine that protects against the myriad strains of the HIV virus. view more (2007-05-30)
Concern over uncontrolled use of HIV drugs
Uncontrolled use of antiretroviral drugs in developing countries could accelerate HIV resistance, warn researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-06-18)
