HIV dementia alarmingly high in Africa
An international study led by Johns Hopkins suggests that the rate of HIV-associated dementia is so high in sub-Saharan Africa that HIV dementia along with Alzheimer's disease and dementia from strokes may be among the most common forms of dementia in the world. view more (2007-01-30)
Community-based measures fail to reduce HIV levels, new study shows
Interventions that target individuals with a high risk of contracting HIV have a negligible impact on HIV transmission in the general population, according to a new study of communities in Zimbabwe, published today. view more (2007-03-27)
World aides series : advances in research in prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission
'Although substantial progress has been made in preventing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the past decade, critical research questions remain. Two perinatal epidemics now exist. In more-developed countries, integration of prenatal HIV-1 counselling and testing programmes into an existing antenatal infrastructure, availability of effective... view more... (2000-06-22)
INCREASED RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS RECURRENCE IN PEOPLE WITH HIV-1 INFECTION (pp 1470, 1488)
People with HIV-1 infection are at an increased risk of recurrent tuberculosis, and could benefit from preventative treatment after the first episode of the disease, concludes research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Patients with HIV-1 infection respond well to treatment for active tuberculosis, but whether such patients are at... view more... (2000-10-25)
In vitro antibody production enables HIV infection detection in window period -- key to safer blood
Researchers in Israel and Kenya have shown that the contribution of variable degrees of immune suppression, either due to existing chronic infections such as parasitemias and/or nutrition, in different populations may influence and prolong the serological-diagnostic window period of HIV. view more (2009-07-27)
Certain cancers more common among HIV patients than non-HIV patients
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that non-AIDS-defining malignancies such as anal and lung cancer have become more prevalent among HIV-infected patients than non-HIV patients since the introduction of anti-retroviral therapies in the mid-1990s. view more (2009-09-25)
New protein target may advance design of HIV and cancer drugs
Using small molecules containing platinum, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have created a process to inhibit a class of proteins important in HIV and cancer. view more (2006-05-31)
New drug candidate against HIV developed in Sweden
As a part of a research collaboration, scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University, Sweden, have developed a new drug candidate against HIV-infection. view more (2005-06-30)
MU Researcher Refining Synthetic Molecules to Prevent HIV Resistance
Evolving HIV viral strains and the adverse side effects associated with long-term exposure to current treatments propel scientists to continue exploring alternative HIV treatments. view more (2008-12-17)
Surprising Results For Ugandan HIV Intervention Trial (pp 633, 645)
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how interventions to promote safer sex and the control of sexually transmitted diseases did not reduce the incidence of HIV infection in an area of rural Uganda. Treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and behavioural interventions are the main methods to prevent HIV in... view more... (2003-02-19)
HIV patients have increased risk of pneumonia, death following surgery
HIV-infected patients undergoing surgical procedures may be more likely to develop pneumonia after surgery and to die within 12 months than those without HIV, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-12-19)
Making sense of sexual risk-taking by gay men
Psychological knowledge and understanding can help make sense of recent reports of an increase in unprotected anal intercourse (termed ‘barebacking’) among gay men. This has important implications for health promotion programmes. These are the key messages of a symposium held today, Tuesday 19 December, at The British Psychological... view more... (2000-12-05)
EMERGING STRONGER FROM THE CHINA CRISIS (p 1311)
Issue 19 April 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 18 April 2003 This week's Lancet Editorial comments on how China can learn from mistakes made in its handling of the SARS crisis-especially in relation to the increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS. 'China's lack of openness about SARS is unfortunately reminiscent of its historic response to other... view more... (2003-04-16)
New publication presents latest in HIV/TB treatment, research
With HIV infection driving a deadly resurgence of tuberculosis (TB), a new publication provides up-to-date recommendations for clinicians facing the many challenges of treating patients with both of these two complex diseases. view more (2007-07-17)
FEMALE GENITAL SHEDDING OF HIV-1 POSES INFECTION RISK (pp 1564, 1593)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that heterosexual women with HIV-1-including those who have had successful antiretroviral therapy-are at risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners and newborn infants as a result of viral shedding in the genital tract. Plasma HIV-1 RNA concentration has been the best predictor for risk of... view more... (2001-11-07)
Unsafe injections rejected as major source of HIV infection in Africa (p 482)
A recent theory proposing that unsafe injections are a major cause of HIV-1 infection in sub-Saharan Africa is rejected by authors of an article in this week's issue of THE LANCET. During the past year, a group (D Gisselquist and colleagues) has argued that unsafe injections are a major mode of HIV-1 transmission in sub-Saharan Africa, with up to... view more... (2004-02-04)
Kenyan Study Could Help Other African Countries Improve Hiv Blood-transfusion Strategies (p 657)
A 1994 study which highlighted the problem of HIV-1 transmission from blood-transfusion programmes in Kenya-and resulted in positive government action-could help other African countries develop safer blood-transfusion strategies. Little support for blood-safety programmes has been provided to less-developed countries over the past decade. The... view more... (2001-08-22)
