Effective HIV control may depend on viral protein targeted by immune cells
An effective response of the immune system's 'killer' T cells against infection with HIV may depend on exactly which viral protein is targeted, according to an international group of researchers.   view more (2006-12-18)

HIV exploits competition among T-cells
A new HIV study shows how competition among the human immune system's T cells allows the virus to escape destruction and eventually develop into full-blown AIDS.   view more (2006-10-17)

NDRI researchers report on transitions to injecting drug use among noninjecting heroin users

Causes of global death and disease in the next 25 years
In 1993, the World Bank sponsored the 1990 Global Burden of Disease study carried out by researchers at Harvard University and the World Health Organization (WHO). This study provided the first comprehensive global estimates of death and illness by age, sex, and region.   view more (2006-11-28)

Government is treating the symptoms and not fighting the causes of infectious diseases, say scientists
The Microbiology Awareness Campaign gathered momentum yesterday at the House of Lords when scientists informed Peers and MPs that new and re-emerging infectious diseases could spell trouble if not tackled soon. The experts said that without targeted government funding for microbiological research,... view more (2005-03-02)

New lab mice pave way for novel studies of human infection
A new type of laboratory mouse developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center can fight certain infections the same way humans do, making the rodents very useful for novel studies of human-pathogen interaction and developing disease therapies.   view more (2006-10-23)

Safe vaccine to combat herpes infections
The unpleasant and painful sores, and infection of newborn babies caused by the genital herpes virus could soon be a thing of the past according to Dr Julian Hickling, who is presenting results from Xenova Research Ltd today, Tuesday 8 April 2003, to the Society for General Microbiology's Spring... view more (2003-04-02)

How breastfeeding affects HIV transmission
Mother to child transmission of HIV accounts for a large proportion of HIV infections in children, with many infected as a result of breastfeeding, which requires transfer of the virus across mucosal barriers.   view more (2005-10-21)

AIDS drugs have saved 3 million years of life in the US
Increasingly effective HIV therapy—including a decade of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)—has provided 3 million years of extended life to Americans with AIDS since 1989, report researchers funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of... view more (2006-06-05)

HIV Mortality in India Drops with Introduction of Generic Antiretroviral Therapy
The survival rate of HIV-infected patients in India has risen in response to a 20-fold drop in the price of antiretroviral therapy (ART), according to an article in the Nov. 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online.   view more (2005-10-20)

Adolescent condom use with 'casual' versus 'main' partners
This week, a new study from researchers at the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center and Brown Medical School, finds that teen attitudes toward condom use with whom they perceive as casual sexual partners versus main partners is crucial in developing effective HIV intervention programs.   view more (2006-08-23)

AIDS vaccine research offers new insights on survival
New insights into how a subpopulation of helper T-cells provides immunity and promotes survival following infection with an AIDS-like virus offer a new means of predicting an AIDS vaccine's effectiveness, a discovery that could help scientists as they test these vaccines in clinical trials.   view more (2006-06-12)

Widely used hepatitis B drug spurs HIV drug resistance
A Johns Hopkins study has proven false established medical practice that an antiretroviral drug widely used to treat hepatitis B liver infections was safe to use on its own in patients co-infected with HIV.   view more (2007-03-01)

Study demonstrates successful HIV-prevention program for Latino youth

Study Shows AIDS Drugs Cost-Effective, Care Underfunded
New research shows that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is very cost-effective, despite the high price tag. However, the study also shows that reimbursement to physicians treating patients with HIV is critically low, threatening patients' access to care.   view more (2006-02-28)
