Antiretroviral Therapy Around Childbirth Reduces Risk Of Mother-To-Child HIV-1 Transmission (pp 1168, 1178)
Antiretroviral therapy given to women before, during, and after childbirth could be beneficial in reducing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the first few weeks after delivery, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. However, this short-term benefit could be compromised unless new interventions are identified to prevent... view more... (2002-04-04)
Rebuilding the evolutionary history of HIV-1 unravels a complex loop
An essential component of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) molecular machinery responsible for infecting cells consists of functionally-specialized layers, according to a study by investigators at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Antiviral Research Center (AVRC), published November 23 in PLoS Computational Biology. view more (2007-11-26)

Genetic cause of innate resistance to HIV/AIDS
Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results of a study conducted by Dr. Nicole Bernard of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) bring us closer to a genetic explanation. Her study findings were published on July 16 in the journal AIDS. view more (2008-07-17)

HIV-infected children may require repeat measles vaccination for protection, according to new research from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and other institutions. view more (2007-07-18)
Model of pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV forecasts benefits, potential cost-effectiveness
For every two people who begin treatment for HIV infection globally, five others become newly infected. Therefore, preventing new HIV infections is the foremost strategy for ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. view more (2009-02-10)
HIV-1's 'hijacking mechanism' pinpointed by McGill/JGH researchers
Researchers at McGill University and the affiliated Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital - along with colleagues at the University of Manitoba and the University of British Columbia - may have found a chink in the armour of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the microorganism which causes... view more...

Increase in malaria linked to HIV
People in developing countries with HIV-1 infection may be twice as likely to develop malarial infection and disease compared with HIV-1-negative individuals, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. An association between HIV-1 and malaria is expected in theory, but has not been convincingly shown in practice. James... view more... (2000-09-20)
