UBC researcher finds new way to treat devastating fungal infections
Devastating blood-borne fungal infections that can be lethal for HIV/AIDS, cancer, and organ transplant patients may be treated more successfully, thanks to a new drug delivery method developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.   view more (2007-03-06)

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... view more (2007-03-06)

HIV's path out of Africa: Haiti, the US then the world
The AIDS virus entered the United States via Haiti, probably arriving in just one person in about 1969, earlier than previously believed, according to new research.   view more (2007-10-30)

Transporter is possible target for safer pain medicine
A transporter that silences one of the body's natural pain killers holds promise for new powerful, non-addictive pain medicines as well as understanding AIDS patients' increased pain perception.   view more (2006-06-12)

Important factors in compliance with HIV regimens identified; and more
Adherence to HIV medications is the greatest predictor of death. How well patients with HIV adhere to their regimens of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) medication depends on a variety of factors, either positive or negative, many of which are common to patients around the world.   view more (2006-11-21)

New target for HIV/AIDS drugs and vaccines discovered
Researchers from Rome, Italy, describe a finding in the August 2007 print issue of The FASEB Journal that could lead to new drugs to fight the HIV/AIDS virus, as well as new vaccines to prevent infection.   view more (2007-07-27)

HIV study prompts call for revision of breastfeeding guidelines
A study by scientists at the Africa Centre for Health and Population Studies, South Africa, has shown that exclusive breastfeeding can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission from mother to child in infants aged under six months when compared to those also given solid foods or replacement... view more (2007-03-30)

New centre launched to investigate link between human sugars and disease
A multidisciplinary centre launched today will promote a far broader understanding of the role sugars play in human disease, scientists say.   view more (2005-04-28)

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)

HIV's effect on white blood cells questioned by new research

Researchers discover how leukaemia virus spreads through the body
Researchers from Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Kagoshima University (Japan) and University of the Ryukyus (Japan) have discovered the mechanism by which human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the virus which causes adult T-cell leukaemia, spreads through the body.   view more (2003-02-12)

HIV positive employees face job loss and workplace discrimination
HIV positive employees face unemployment and workplace discrimination, indicates a study published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.   view more (2007-10-03)

Researchers use chemical from medicinal plants to fight HIV
Like other kinds of cells, immune cells lose the ability to divide as they age because a part of their chromosomes known as a telomere becomes progressively shorter with cell division. As a result, the cell changes in many ways, and its disease fighting ability is compromised.   view more (2008-11-10)

Study finds possible connection between marijuana abuse and stroke or heart attacks
Long-term harmful effects of marijuana (MJ) include risk for heart attacks and strokes in addition to impaired learning and memory. The active chemical in MJ called delta-9-tetrahyrdocannabinol (THC) is believed to exert these effects by binding to cannabinoid (CB) receptors located on several cell... view more (2008-05-13)

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 pit novel version of common virus against cancer
With nearly $1 million in government funding, University of Rochester scientists are testing a new innovation in biotherapy by altering a common childhood respiratory virus, the adenovirus, to destroy cancer cells.   view more (2007-06-21)

Survival rates exceed national averages for UCSF heart, liver and lung transplant programs

Circulation of 'disaster myths' in Haiti could hinder appropriate disposal of bodies
Myths about the infectious disease threat posed by dead bodies could lead to insensitive and inappropriate treatment of victims' bodies following the floods in Haiti, and need to be checked, according to a public health researcher who has studied the potential risks at length.   view more (2004-09-30)
