Quality not quantity important for immune response to HIV
When it comes to an immune response against HIV, research funded by the Wellcome Trust in the UK and the National Institutes of Health in the US has found that bigger is not necessarily better, contrary to conventional medical wisdom. View More (2006-12-18)
Male circumcision reduces HIV risk, study stopped early
A University of Illinois at Chicago study has been stopped early due to preliminary results indicating that medical circumcision of men reduces their risk of acquiring HIV during heterosexual intercourse by 53 percent. View More (2006-12-14)
CHAVI announces international search for genes affecting HIV response
A pioneering collaboration among U.S., European and Australian researchers announced June 20, 2006, will seek to identify genetic differences in the way people respond to HIV. View More (2006-06-20)
A simple feedback resistor switch keeps latent HIV from awakening
Upon entering a cell, a virus often becomes dormant, turning off its genes and laying low until awakened by som e trigger from its environment. When that trigger is pulled, the virus quickly ramps up production of proteins through built-in positive-feedback loops that turn up gene transcription. View More (2006-12-26)
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)

Researchers disprove 'fat redistribution syndrome' among men taking HIV drugs
There is no syndrome that causes increased belly fat and decreased facial and limb fat among HIV-positive men who take antiretroviral drugs. View More (2005-10-14)
HIV measurement appears to be less reliable than thought in predicting loss of CD4 cells
Preliminary research indicates that the initial HIV RNA level in untreated HIV-infected patients appears to have little value in predicting the rate of CD4 cell count decrease. View More (2006-09-27)
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)
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)
Progression of SIV infection in monkeys raises
A sudden loss of T cells -- white blood cells crucial to the immune system -- is not the trigger for the onset of AIDS, according to a study published in the September 2007 issue of the Journal of Immunology by a team of researchers at Tulane National Primate Research Center. View More (2007-09-24)
Pediatric HIV: Oral lesions are commonly associated with the disease
Across the globe, the presence of HIV is wide-spread. At the end of 2004, the United Nations HIV/AIDS program estimated that 2.5 million children under the age of 15 were affected worldwide. View More (2006-10-09)
Malaria treatment efficacy compromised in certain HIV-positive patients
A weakened immune response resulting from HIV infection can lead to trouble when it comes to treating malaria. View More (2006-09-08)
Blacks hit hardest by HIV infection among nation's young adults
HIV infection is significantly more common among non-Hispanic blacks than it is among any other young adult racial or ethnic group in the United States, according to the first study drawn from the nation's general youth population. View More (2006-06-06)
Risk of HIV transmission highest early in infection
New evidence suggests that the risk of HIV transmission may be highest in the early stages of infection. According to a study published in the April 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online, early infection accounted for nearly half of all transmission occurrences in an HIV-infected population in the province of Quebec, Canada.

Researchers progress toward AIDS vaccine
Rutgers AIDS researchers Gail Ferstandig Arnold and Eddy Arnold may have turned a corner in their search for a HIV vaccine. In a paper just published in the Journal of Virology, the husband and wife duo and their colleagues report on their research progress. View More (2009-03-13)
Body's anti-HIV drug explained
Humans have a built-in weapon against HIV, but until recently no one knew how to unlock its potential. View More (2008-10-13)
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.

Asthma risk increases in children treated for HIV
Children whose immune systems rebound after treatment with potent anti-viral drugs for HIV infection face an increased risk of developing asthma, said a federally funded consortium of researchers led by those from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. View More (2008-07-02)
New Study Shows Benefit of Early Therapy in HIV-infected Infants
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for infants born with HIV infection may be most effective when given in their first five months of life, according to a study published in the April 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. View More (2006-03-09)
