Quality not quantity important for immune response to HIV
When it comes to an immune response against HIV, research funded by the Wellcome Trust in the UK and the National Institutes of Health in the US has found that bigger is not necessarily better, contrary to conventional medical wisdom. view more (2006-12-18)
Failed HIV Drug Gets Second Chance with Addition of Gold Nanoparticles
Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered that adding tiny bits of gold to a failed HIV drug rekindle the drug's ability to stop the virus from invading the body's immune system. view more (2008-05-27)
Personalized immunotherapy to fight HIV/AIDS
For a long time, the main obstacle to creating an AIDS vaccine has been the high genetic variability of the HIV virus. Dr. Jean-Pierre Routy and his team from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), in collaboration with Dr. Rafick Sékaly from the Université de Montréal, have overcome this... view more...

New contraceptive device is designed to prevent sexual transmission of HIV
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have published results showing that a new contraceptive device may also effectively block the transmission of the HIV virus. view more (2009-05-20)
HIV research project scoops innovation prize
Research that could lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of HIV has scooped a University of Manchester scientist a prestigious industry award. view more (2004-11-23)
Study finds limited options for backup HIV treatment in some developing countries
Thai researchers have discovered that patients who fail treatment with a commonly used, inexpensive, first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) are also usually resistant to other, similar drugs, leaving progressively fewer options for replacement therapies. view more (2007-01-09)

Scientists unlock more secrets of HIV and SARS
UK scientists have cracked one of the key biological processes used by viruses such as HIV and SARS when they replicate. view more (2006-05-11)
Can the tonsils influence oral HIV transmission?
Current research demonstrates that the tonsils may possess the necessary factors to act as a transmission site for the spread of HIV. view more (2007-07-26)
Can periodontal disease act as a risk factor for HIV-1?
Today, during the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, convening at the Miami Beach Convention Center, a group of scientists from Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) will present findings suggesting that periodontal disease could act as a risk factor for reactivating latent HIV-1 in affected individuals. view more (2009-04-03)
Viral recombination another way HIV fools the immune system
When individuals infected with HIV become infected with a second strain of the virus, the two viral strains can exchange genetic information, creating a third, recombinant strain of the virus. It is known that the presence of multiple viral strains, called superinfection, frequently leads to a loss of immune control of viral levels. view more (2008-07-22)
Different HIV rates among gay men and straight people not fully explained by sexual behavior
Differences in sexual behaviours do not fully explain why the US HIV epidemic affects gay men so much more than straight men and women, claims research published ahead of print in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2007-09-14)
Scientists explain binding action of 2 key HIV antibodies; could lead to new vaccine design
A very close and detailed study of how the most robust antibodies work to block the HIV virus as it seeks entry into healthy cells has revealed a new direction for researchers hoping to design an effective vaccine. view more (2009-11-10)
Study suggests life insurance should cover people treated for HIV (p 877)
Issue 13 September 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 September 2003. Authors of a Swiss study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how people effectively treated for HIV-1 infection with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have similar or lower mortality rates than patients successfully treated for cancer-calling into... view more...

A natural approach for HIV vaccine
For 25 years, researchers have tried and failed to develop an HIV vaccine, primarily by focusing on a small number of engineered "super antibodies" to fend off the virus before it takes hold. view more (2009-03-16)
HIV drug maraviroc effective for drug-resistant patients
As many as one quarter of HIV patients have drug resistance, limiting their treatment options and raising their risk for AIDS and death. view more (2008-10-02)
HIV measurement appears to be less reliable than thought in predicting loss of CD4 cells
Preliminary research indicates that the initial HIV RNA level in untreated HIV-infected patients appears to have little value in predicting the rate of CD4 cell count decrease. view more (2006-09-27)
Involving partners of pregnant women in Africa to improve AIDS prevention
According to the World Health Organization, nearly three-quarters of the world's 40 million human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people are living in Sub-Saharan Africa. view more (2008-04-29)
Effects of bacterial pneumonia no worse for HIV-positive patients
Pneumonia doesn't appear to harm HIV-positive patients any more than those without HIV, according to a new international study conducted in part by the University of Alberta. view more (2005-09-28)
The origins of HIV: Did flies enable HIV to jump from chimps to humans?
BLOODSUCKING flies common all over the world may have begun the HIV epidemic by spreading the virus from chimpanzees to humans. That`s the latest challenge to the established theory that game hunters became infected when HIV-laden chimpanzee blood got into open wounds. Most bloodsucking insects pose... view more...
