State laws may limit implementation of CDC's recommendations for routine HIV testing
A new study concludes that routine testing for HIV recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) may violate many state laws.   view more (2007-10-10)

Virological evidence cannot prove transmission in HIV criminal cases
Virological evidence cannot prove transmission in HIV criminal cases, warn experts in this week's BMJ.   view more (2007-09-07)

HIV inserts into human genome using a DNA-associated protein
A human DNA-associated protein called LEDGF is the first such molecule found to control the location of HIV integration in human cells.   view more (2005-11-28)

Scientists unveil piece of HIV protein that may be key to AIDS vaccine development
In a finding that could have profound implications for AIDS vaccine design, researchers led by a team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have generated an atomic-level picture of a key portion of an HIV surface... view more (2007-02-15)

Are HIV Infection And Personality Linked?
Currently, HIV is one of the most widely spread epidemics in the world. The specificity of the mode of transmission, the well-known severity of the prognosis, and the kind of therapies used are peculiarities of this illness. Personality traits of individuals with HIV may influence conditions for... view more (2004-11-18)

AFRICAN HIV-1 EPIDEMIC NOT CAUSED BY MORE INFECTIOUS VIRAL SUBTYPE (p 1149)
The explosive HIV-1 epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is unlikely to be the result of a viral subtype with increased infectivity, according to the results of a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. The HIV-1 epidemic in eastern and southern sub-Saharan Africa is mainly caused by... view more (2001-04-11)

HIV drug resistance is increasing in the UK
The prevalence of transmitted HIV drug resistance in the United Kingdom is increasing, according to a study in this week's BMJ. This finding emphasises the urgent need for new approaches to encourage safer sexual behaviour. A total of 69 patients infected with HIV between June 1994 and August 2000... view more (2001-05-02)

Urbanization in Africa at dawn of 20th century marked outbreak of HIV
New research indicates that the most pervasive global strain of HIV began spreading among humans between 1884 and 1924, suggesting that growing urbanization in colonial Africa set the stage for the HIV/AIDS pandemic.   view more (2008-10-02)

HIV-1 spread through six transmission lines in the UK
Contrary to the prevailing belief that the HIV epidemic in the UK can be traced back to one source, a new study suggests that HIV spread via at least six independent virus introductions and subsequent transmission chains. The findings, published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the... view more (2005-03-14)

Effective HIV control may depend on viral protein targeted by immune cells
An effective response of the immune system's 'killer' T cells against infection with HIV may depend on exactly which viral protein is targeted, according to an international group of researchers.   view more (2006-12-18)

New target for HIV/AIDS drugs and vaccines discovered
Researchers from Rome, Italy, describe a finding in the August 2007 print issue of The FASEB Journal that could lead to new drugs to fight the HIV/AIDS virus, as well as new vaccines to prevent infection.   view more (2007-07-27)

Researchers use chemical from medicinal plants to fight HIV
Like other kinds of cells, immune cells lose the ability to divide as they age because a part of their chromosomes known as a telomere becomes progressively shorter with cell division. As a result, the cell changes in many ways, and its disease fighting ability is compromised.   view more (2008-11-10)

Asthma risk increases in children treated for HIV
Children whose immune systems rebound after treatment with potent anti-viral drugs for HIV infection face an increased risk of developing asthma, said a federally funded consortium of researchers led by those from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears online in the Journal of Allergy... view more (2008-07-02)

Imitating monkey's 'jumping genes' could lead to new treatments for HIV
UCL (University College London) scientists have taken a significant step in understanding how retroviruses such as HIV can move between species and the biological mechanisms behind the 'jumping genes' which make some monkeys immune. They will now use this knowledge to develop a gene therapy... view more (2008-02-19)

U of M researchers discover new method to combat HIV
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Center for Drug Design have developed a new method to combat HIV/AIDS, potentially replacing the traditional cocktail drug approach.   view more (2007-07-24)

Widely used hepatitis B drug spurs HIV drug resistance
A Johns Hopkins study has proven false established medical practice that an antiretroviral drug widely used to treat hepatitis B liver infections was safe to use on its own in patients co-infected with HIV.   view more (2007-03-01)

Studies Suggest HIV Subtype More Deadly Than Others
Two studies led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that people infected with HIV in Thailand die from the disease significantly sooner than those with HIV living in other parts of the world.   view more (2007-11-28)

PET Scans Could Provide Insight Into HIV-1 Progression (pp 945, 959)
An article and a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary data suggesting that positron emission tomography (PET) scans could identify the effect of HIV-1 infection on the body's lymphatic system. Authors of the studies suggest that activation of specific lymph nodes... view more (2003-09-17)

Treatment outcomes of patients with HIV and tuberculosis
In a retrospective study of 700 patients with culture-positive tuberculosis (TB), relapse rates were found to be significantly higher in HIV-infected patients compared to HIV-uninfected patients following a rifamycin-based regimen.   view more (2007-06-01)

Protein from the wrong side of the tracks aids cancer virus
A protein made by a cancer-causing virus using an unusual gene enables that virus to infect immune cells and persist in the host, new research shows.   view more (2006-06-12)

An HIV Vaccine is within reach
An effective, affordable, and accessible HIV vaccine is 7-10 years away, according to scientists at the Medical Research Council of South Africa, in this week's BMJ. However, its success depends on a complex interplay of politics, science, and public-private partnerships.   view more (2002-01-23)

The Role Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Malaria, And Tuberculosis On The Hiv-1/Aids Epidemic In Africa (p 2177)
The effect of HIV-1 on other infectious diseases in Africa is an increasing public health concern. In a review in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Elizabeth Corbett from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and the Harare Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe, and... view more (2002-06-19)

Immunologists find better way to boost the immune system
Immunologists have discovered how to manipulate the immune system to increase its power and protect the body from successive viral infections.   view more (2008-01-23)

Assisted reproduction provides bright future for HIV positive men - butseems less successful for women
Assisted reproduction can safely help HIV positive men to become fathers without infecting their partners, according to new research from French fertility experts.   view more (2003-05-24)

Specific Genotype Could Increase Resistance To HIV Drug Therapy (p 383)
A specific mutation of a gene which influences the expression of a glycoprotein transporter protein involved in the body's resistance to drugs and other toxins is detailed in a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Results of the study suggest that drug therapies used in treating... view more (2001-08-01)
