ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT FOR HIV INFECTION (p1320)
It is well known that treatment of HIV-1 infection (that may lead to AIDS) has side effects, but there are few studies of how many people having treatment are affected by adverse reactions. In a study of 1160 people receiving antiretroviral treatment, published in The Lancet this week, Jacques Fallon and colleagues from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study... view more... (2001-10-17)
Patients and their doctors have different perceptions about HIV and its treatment

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,... view more...

South Africa In Denial Over Number Of Deaths From HIV/AIDS
A recent study attempting to quantify misclassification of HIV/AIDS deaths concluded that for the year 2000-01, the number of deaths related to HIV/AIDS was likely to be almost three times as high as that published in the Government's statistical report compiled from death certificates. The study suggests that 80% of the excess deaths in men and... view more... (2005-02-09)
U of M researchers determine structure of protein that mutates DNA of the AIDS virus HIV-1
Understanding the structure of proteins involved in inhibiting HIV-1 infection could help in the battle against AIDS, and University of Minnesota researchers have taken a crucial step in that direction. view more (2008-02-21)
Girls born with HIV infection at higher risk for cervical problems
A generation of children born with HIV are now coming of age and reaching sexual maturity. Girls in this group who are sexually active are experiencing a higher number than expected of cervical abnormalities, a new study finds. view more (2007-04-27)
HIV's impact in Zimbabwe explored in new research
The impact of HIV in Zimbabwe since the early 1980s is explored in new research published this week in the journal PNAS. view more (2007-08-28)
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)
New study suggests potential for a broadly-protective HIV vaccine
New research conducted at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) suggests that it may be possible to develop a vaccine that protects against the myriad strains of the HIV virus. view more (2007-05-30)
Human foreskin may have a key role in passing on HIV infection
Human foreskin may have a key role in helping to pass on HIV infection, suggests research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2003-12-18)
Combination of HIV/malaria increases complications during pregnancy
Women with a combined HIV/malaria infection more frequently experience complications during pregnancy than healthy women. This is revealed in research from Kenya. However, to their surprise the researchers established that HIV-infected mothers with a mild malaria infection less frequently transmit the HIV infection to their children than... view more...

HIV in the nervous system - still a cause for concern?
HIV infection can be controlled with antiretroviral drugs, but it cannot be wiped out. New evidence suggests that low levels of HIV may still lead to long-term brain damage and dementia, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick. "There is concern for... view more... (2002-04-02)
MU scientists 'see' how HIV matures into an infection
After improving the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), researchers at the University of Missouri actually watched the HIV-1 protease mature from an inactive form into an active infection. This process has never been directly visualized before. The findings appear today in the journal Nature. view more (2008-10-02)
Has HIV Become More Virulent?
Damage to patients' immune systems is happening sooner now than it did at the beginning of the HIV epidemic, suggesting the virus has become more virulent. view more (2009-04-08)
Criminalizing HIV transmission is a threat to public health, say experts
Experts in this week's BMJ express serious concerns about the public health impact of criminalising HIV transmission. view more (2006-09-29)
Researchers link specific antibody presence to prevention of mother-to-baby HIV transmission
Exploring why some HIV-positive mothers transmit the virus in utero to their babies while others don't, researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and Los Alamos National Laboratory studied 38 infant-mother pairs in the UCLA arm of the Los Angeles Pediatric AIDS Consortium. view more (2006-07-12)
FDA ignores critical information on home HIV tests
The FDA is ignoring critical information in deciding whether to approve an over-the-counter, rapid HIV test for home use. view more (2009-05-29)
HIV's effect on white blood cells questioned by new research
Scientists have refuted a longstanding theory of how HIV slowly depletes the body's capacity to fight infection, in new research published today. view more (2007-05-22)
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)
NIAID describes challenges, prospects for an HIV vaccine
Events of the past year in HIV vaccine research have led some to question whether an effective HIV vaccine will ever be developed. In the August 28 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, examine the extraordinarily... view more...
