Protecting HIV patients from Hepatitis B virus
Since the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are so similar, individuals infected with one of these viruses are at a significantly increased risk for contracting the other. view more (2007-07-18)
Older Age Of Male Partners Makes Young Women More Susceptible To Hiv-1 Infection (p 1896)
Results of a field study in Zimbabwe published in this week`s issue of THE LANCET highlight how cultural aspects of sexual behaviour are closely associated with an increased rate of HIV-1 infection among young women compared with young men. HIV-1 prevalence typically rises more rapidly at young ages in women than in men in sub-Saharan Africa. The... view more... (2002-05-29)
Science commentary stresses need for collaboration at local level in HIV-prevention studies
Clinical trials of drugs intended to prevent HIV infection in high-risk populations must be developed and carried out in close collaboration with the local communities and national governments of the countries in which they are conducted, according to 18 international leaders in HIV prevention writing in the current (Sept. 30, 2005) issue of... view more...

Kidney transplant survival can be long-term for people with HIV
A Johns Hopkins study finds that HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, provided certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed. view more (2009-01-20)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
Protein that provides innate defense against HIV could lead to new treatments
By identifying a protein that restricts the release of HIV-1 virus from human cells, scientists believe they may be closer to identifying new approaches to treatment. The research is published in the advance online edition of Nature Medicine. view more (2008-05-27)
Implications of the new HIV estimate for India
The 2007 UNAIDS/WHO AIDS epidemic update released last week has revised the global estimate of HIV/AIDS primarily due to a major reduction of the estimate for India to 2.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS, which is less than half of the previous official estimate of 5.7 million people. view more (2007-12-04)
HIV shifting from most to least educated in sub-Saharan Africa
HIV infections appear to be concentrating among the least educated people in Africa, reversing previous patterns which saw higher levels of infection among the most educated, according to a study published today in the journal AIDS. view more (2008-01-16)
"EuroVacc 02" HIV Vaccine trial begins
The European Vaccine Effort against HIV/AIDS, today announced that a phase I clinical trial of novel investigational vaccines comprising DNA-HIV-C and NYVAC-HIV-C for the prevention of HIV infection has started in Lausanne and London in February 2005. These vaccines are based on HIV subtype C, which is prevalent in China, India and sub-Saharan... view more... (2005-02-16)
AIDS research agenda proposed
In an Editorial Review published in the current issue of AIDS (2006,20,7, 1-5), HIV researchers from Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and the United States address the challenging question of the impact of major social, ecological, political, economic, biomedical, viral, and other changes on the HIV epidemic and the world's ability to respond. view more (2006-04-12)
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)
Genetic variation increases HIV risk in Africans
A genetic variation which evolved to protect people of African descent against malaria has now been shown to increase their susceptibility to HIV infection by up to 40 per cent, according to new research. Conversely, the same variation also appears to prolong survival of those infected with HIV by approximately two years. view more (2008-07-17)
Exciting Development in Anti-Retroviral Drug Discovery Made at Oxford
Researchers in Oxford University's Sir William Dunn School of Pathology have developed a novel HTS for identifying antiretroviral (HIV) agents/drugs that inhibit HIV infectivity. Current anti-viral drugs prolong the quality of life for many HIV-1+ individuals, but they do not stop the virus from infecting new cells. Since these drugs mostly... view more... (2003-06-05)
HIV patients sicker when seeking care than in the past
It was hoped that as HIV treatment improved and as HIV-related public health initiatives encouraged people to be tested for the disease and seek care, that HIV-infected patients would seek care quickly. view more (2007-10-26)
Decline in blood platelet count associated with increased risk of HIV-related dementia
HIV patients with declining platelet counts appear to be at increased risk for HIV-associated dementia, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-09-11)
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines can improve the lives of HIV-infected children
An international team of experts has published the first comprehensive review of evidence on pneumococcal conjugate vaccination (PCV) for children with HIV infection. view more (2007-11-29)
High-risk behaviors could lead to HIV epidemic in Afghanistan
In a report that is among the first to describe the prevalence of HIV and Hepatitis B and C viruses in Afghanistan, a researcher from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine voiced concerns that increasing injection drug use and accompanying high-risk behavior could lead to an HIV epidemic in Afghanistan. view more (2007-08-29)
Tools for more accurate dosage of drugs against HIV/AIDS and malaria
A doctoral thesis presented at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, shows that it is possible to describe and quantify the relationships between dose, concentration and effectiveness of several drugs against HIV/AIDS and malaria. The method may allow improved treatment and fewer undesired effects for patients with these... view more... (2009-03-06)
WHO 2003-2008: A Programme Of Quiet Thunder Takes Shape (p 179)
This week's editorial looks ahead to the future of WHO as Dr J W Lee is poised to take over as leader of the only global health agency from Gro Harlem Brundtland on July 21. Lee's priorities are discussed: 'The priority among priorities is HIV/AIDS. The phrase "3-by-5" peppers the language of Lee loyalists. His goal is to get 3 million... view more... (2003-07-16)
