Methamphetamine study suggests increased risk for HIV transmission
New findings that one in 20 North Carolina men who have sex with men (MSM) reported using crystal methamphetamine during the previous month suggests increased risk for spreading HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD), according to researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues. view more (2007-08-28)
Montreal researchers make a major strategic breakthrough in controling the AIDS virus
A team of researchers from the Université de Montréal and the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) have announced an important breakthrough in fighting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). view more (2006-08-22)
FSU research produces images of AIDS virus that may shape vaccine
As the world marks the 25th year since the first diagnosed case of AIDS, groundbreaking research by scientists at Florida State University has produced remarkable three-dimensional images of the virus and the protein spikes on its surface that allow it to bind and fuse with human immune cells. view more (2006-05-30)
Malaria may fuel spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa
Malaria may be fueling the spread of HIV in areas of sub-Saharan Africa where there is a substantial overlap between the two diseases, while HIV may be playing a role in boosting adult malaria-infection rates in some parts of the region, according to a new study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of... view more...

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)
Controlling neglected tropical diseases could help make poverty history
"The big three" infections AIDS, TB and malaria have caught the world's attention but other disabling and fatal infectious diseases in Africa are being ignored, say three eminent tropical disease researchers in the international health journal PLoS Medicine. view more (2005-10-11)
World-wide warning of highly drug-resistant tuberculosis
New forms of highly drug-resistant tuberculosis are emerging and action must be taken soon before they become widespread globally. view more (2006-09-15)
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)
Mutation that protects against HIV infection may raise risk of West Nile virus illness
People who lack a cell surface protein called CCR5 are highly resistant to infection by HIV but may be at increased risk of developing West Nile virus (WNV) illness when exposed to the mosquito-borne virus. view more (2006-01-17)
Wild gorillas carriers of a SIV virus close to the AIDS virus
In 2005, 40.3 million people in the world, including 25.8 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, were living with HIV. The question of the origin of HIV-1, responsible for the AIDS pandemic, has been stimulating the scientific community for many years. view more (2006-11-14)
UAB Researchers Discover HIV-1 Originated in Wild Chimpanzees
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), has discovered a crucial missing link in the search for the origin of HIV-1, the virus responsible for human AIDS. view more (2006-05-30)
FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking place and would, therefore, reduce the likelihood... view more... (1999-03-11)
Drug Combo Against AIDS-Related Infections Also Prevents Malaria
A drug combination used to prevent pneumonia and opportunistic bacterial infection in persons with HIV/AIDS has unexpectedly been found to be highly effective at preventing malaria. view more (2005-10-19)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)
Common anti-convulsant drug may help slow the progression of dementia
Researchers have found that a common anticonvulsant drug improved cognitive function and appeared to restore nerve cells in the brains of patients with HIV-related dementia. view more (2006-03-14)
Genetic mutation linked to West Nile virus infection
A genetic mutation that protects against HIV increases the risk of developing clinical West Nile Virus infection. view more (2006-01-09)
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)
Combination microbicides protect monkeys against HIV-like virus
Experiments in female monkeys have for the first time shown that when used in combination, vaginal gels known as microbicides can protect against an HIV-like virus. view more (2005-11-02)
A clue from macaques yields evidence for impaired retroviral defense genes in humans
Researchers Harmit Malik and Michael Emerman and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have found that a surprisingly large fraction of humans may be impaired in the function of a recently discovered arm of the body's defense against invading retroviruses such as HIV. view more (2006-01-10)
Mayo researchers discover HIV dependence on a human protein
Mayo Clinic virologists have discovered that a specific human protein is essential for HIV to integrate into the human genome. view more (2006-09-08)
