Researchers cast doubt on hypothesis that stigma fuels HIV epidemic
The dominant view in the public health community is that the stigma of being HIV positive fuels the HIV epidemic, and yet there is a lack of evidence to support this view.   view more (2006-10-31)

Montreal researchers make a major strategic breakthrough in controling the AIDS virus
A team of researchers from the Université de Montréal and the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) have announced an important breakthrough in fighting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).   view more (2006-08-22)

OHSU researchers discover possible HIV therapy in an animal study
Researchers have published a new study this week suggesting an important component of the immune system damaged by AIDS can possibly be replaced.   view more (2006-06-09)

HIV-infected infants respond poorly to childhood vaccination
It is known that HIV-infected children who do not receive appropriate antiretroviral drugs experience immune depression, and may become susceptible to infectious diseases that would otherwise be prevented by childhood immunization.   view more (2007-12-05)

UF researchers track genetic journey of HIV from birth to death
University of Florida scientists have discovered how HIV evolves over the course of a person's lifetime into a more deadly form that heralds the onset of full-blown AIDS. The findings could pave the way for new therapeutic agents that target the virus earlier in the disease process, before it takes... view more (2007-10-17)

HIV exploits competition among T-cells
A new HIV study shows how competition among the human immune system's T cells allows the virus to escape destruction and eventually develop into full-blown AIDS.   view more (2006-10-17)

Circumcision for prevention of HIV: new analysis demonstrates cost-effectiveness
A team of researchers who conducted a landmark trial in Orange Farm, South Africa, which concluded that male circumcision can sub stantially reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV, have now studied the economic aspects of this approach to preventing HIV/AIDS.   view more (2006-12-26)

Heavy drinking can hasten the progression of the simian immunodeficiency virus disease
Alcohol abuse can impair a person's immune system, leading to infections like pneumonia. Alcohol abuse is also more common among individuals already infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than among the population as a whole.   view more (2006-09-25)

Researchers discover cold virus can 'hit and hide'
An international team of researchers has discovered that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common cold virus causing bronchiolitis in children, can act as a 'hit and hide' virus. It was thought that the virus could only survive in the body for a few days, but these new results show that the... view more (2004-04-23)

Antiretroviral Therapy Effective In Reducing Mother-to-child HIV-1 Transmission When Started After Childbirth (p 1171)
Results of a study from Malawi in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how antiretroviral therapy targeted at babies soon after childbirth (because their mothers' HIV diagnosis was made around the time of delivery) is still effective in preventing vertical HIV-1 transmission from mothers to... view more (2003-10-08)

Progression of SIV infection in monkeys raises
A sudden loss of T cells -- white blood cells crucial to the immune system -- is not the trigger for the onset of AIDS, according to a study published in the September 2007 issue of the Journal of Immunology by a team of researchers at Tulane National Primate Research Center.   view more (2007-09-24)

West Nile virus antibodies sought in birds in England
Scientists at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at Oxford are investigating live birds to see whether or not West Nile virus is present and being actively transmitted between resident and migratory birds. No infectious virus has as yet been detected. The birds sampled were healthy, implying... view more (2002-10-31)

A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients
Helicobacter pylori has been extensively studied and proven to be the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer in the HIV-negative population.   view more (2007-10-17)

Hepatitis B drug can compromise HIV treatment
Treating hepatitis B patients with the drug entecavir can cause those who are also infected with HIV to become resistant to two of the most important drugs in the anti-HIV arsenal.   view more (2007-06-21)

Scientists image a single HIV particle being born
A mapmaker and a mathematician may seem like an unlikely duo, but together they worked out a way to measure longitude - and kept millions of sailors from getting lost at sea.   view more (2008-05-27)

Why are so few HIV/AIDS trials conducted in Africa?
People in sub-Saharan Africa carry the heaviest burden of HIV and AIDS, yet very few trials have been conducted on the African continent over the past two decades, say researchers in this week's BMJ.   view more (2005-09-30)

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)

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)

Genomic analysis uncovers new targets for HIV vaccine
An international team of researchers has identified three gene variants in the DNA of 486 people infected with HIV that appear to have helped some of the patients fight off the virus and delay the onset of full-blown AIDS.   view more (2007-07-20)

Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus.   view more (2006-04-28)

Measles Vaccinations Need to be Repeated to Protect HIV-Infected Children
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)

Existing antiretroviral drugs may thwart vaginal HIV transmission, researchers report
Prescription drugs now used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection in adults may prevent the vaginal transmission of HIV, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2008-01-15)

FSU research produces images of AIDS virus that may shape vaccine
As the world marks the 25th year since the first diagnosed case of AIDS, groundbreaking research by scientists at Florida State University has produced remarkable three-dimensional images of the virus and the protein spikes on its surface that allow it to bind and fuse with human immune cells.   view more (2006-05-30)

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... view more (2000-09-20)

Eastern Europe Facing Major Aids Epidemic (p 1035)
Authors of a review in this week's issue of THE LANCET predict that social problems in former eastern-block countries resulting in large numbers of injecting-drug users and a rise in sexually transmitted diseases will soon cause a major HIV/AIDS epidemic in eastern Europe. Fran'§oise Hamers and... view more (2003-03-20)
