Hybrigenics Launches Pharma Industry’s First Proteomics Database For Hiv Drug Development Proprietary Hiv Bioinformatics Platform At Keystone Symposia Meeting
Paris, France - Hybrigenics, the functional proteomics company, announces the launch of the world’s most comprehensive combined protein-protein interactions “map” between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its host cell in humans. This represents the first time that a fully integrated HIV-Human protein pathway has been... view more... (2001-03-29)
Colon cancer screenings may not pay off and could pose harm to some
Even though current guidelines advocate colorectal cancer screenings for those with severe illnesses, they may bring little benefit and may actually pose harm, according to a recent study by Yale School of Medicine researchers published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. view more (2007-12-19)
HIV infection appears to increases the risk of heart attack
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is also associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction or heart attack. view more (2007-04-25)
HIV dementia alarmingly high in Africa
An international study led by Johns Hopkins suggests that the rate of HIV-associated dementia is so high in sub-Saharan Africa that HIV dementia along with Alzheimer's disease and dementia from strokes may be among the most common forms of dementia in the world. view more (2007-01-30)
Community-based measures fail to reduce HIV levels, new study shows

World aides series : advances in research in prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission
'Although substantial progress has been made in preventing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the past decade, critical research questions remain. Two perinatal epidemics now exist. In more-developed countries, integration of prenatal HIV-1 counselling and testing programmes into an existing antenatal infrastructure, availability of effective... view more... (2000-06-22)
European research yields guidelines for treatment of HIV-positive pregnant women and infants
New guidelines for the treatment of HIV-positive women and children are emerging from European research. The guidelines, aimed at reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, are to be published on 28 June 2002 as a supplement to the journal AIDS. A comparable set of guidelines for paediatric patients will be published in July 2002. Both reports... view more... (2002-06-28)
In vitro antibody production enables HIV infection detection in window period -- key to safer blood
Researchers in Israel and Kenya have shown that the contribution of variable degrees of immune suppression, either due to existing chronic infections such as parasitemias and/or nutrition, in different populations may influence and prolong the serological-diagnostic window period of HIV. view more (2009-07-27)
Certain cancers more common among HIV patients than non-HIV patients
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that non-AIDS-defining malignancies such as anal and lung cancer have become more prevalent among HIV-infected patients than non-HIV patients since the introduction of anti-retroviral therapies in the mid-1990s. view more (2009-09-25)

Surprising Results For Ugandan HIV Intervention Trial (pp 633, 645)
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how interventions to promote safer sex and the control of sexually transmitted diseases did not reduce the incidence of HIV infection in an area of rural Uganda. Treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and behavioural interventions are the main methods to prevent HIV in... view more... (2003-02-19)
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)
New lab test offers better prediction of HIV microbicide safety
