Sustained Reduction In AIDS Since Introduction Of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (p 22)
European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy has had a sustained effect in reducing illness and death from HIV/AIDS over the past few years. Highly active antiretroviral therapy was introduced around 1996 and immediately brought about a substantial reduction in illness... view more... (2003-07-02)
Urgent need for new campaigns to combat soaring rates of sexually transmitted infections
Sexual health awareness campaigns really do work, and new ones are urgently needed to combat soaring rates of sexually transmitted infection (STI), reveals a study in Sexually Transmitted Infections. The research, principally from the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre of the Public Health Laboratory Service, shows that HIV and AIDS... view more... (2001-07-18)
Meth Promotes Spread of Virus in HIV-Infected Users
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have presented the first evidence that the addictive drug methamphetamine, or meth, also commonly known as "speed" or "crystal," increases production of a docking protein that promotes the spread of the HIV-1 virus in infected users. view more (2006-08-07)
HIV persists in the gut despite long-term HIV therapy
Even with effective anti-HIV therapies, doctors still have not been able to eradicate the virus from infected individuals who are receiving such treatments, largely because of the persistence of HIV in hideouts known as viral reservoirs. view more (2008-02-14)
Challenges of HIV-1 subtype diversity
A review article in the New England Journal of Medicine explores the genetic variation of HIV-1 and its implications for preventing and treating the disease. Francine McCutchan, Ph.D., a researcher with the U.S. Military HIV Research Program, co-authored the article, which appeared in the April 10, 2008 edition. view more (2008-05-22)
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)
Novel method to create personalized immunotherapy treatments
Argos Therapeutics and Université de Montréal today announced the presentation of new information on Argos'process for developing dendritic cell-based immunotherapies for HIV. view more (2008-08-06)
Reduction In HIV-1 Incidence Among Rural Ugandans Gives Hope To Other African Countries (pp 3, 41, 78)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights a reduction in both HIV-1 incidence (the number of new cases) and prevalence (the number of cases in the population) from the beginning to the end of the past decade among a rural Ugandan population. Authors of the study conclude that the results could offer hope for other sub-Saharan countries... view more... (2002-07-03)
South African Government Urged To Take Action In Preventing Mother-To-Child HIV Transmission (p 992)
Leading South African scientists, writing in a Commentary in this week's issue of THE LANCET, are calling on their government to implement antiretroviral drug programmes without delay to reduce the vertical transmission of HIV-1 infection from pregnant women to their children. Around 75,000 South African children were born with HIV-1 infection in... view more... (2002-03-20)
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)
Criminalizing HIV transmission is a threat to public health, say experts
Experts in this week's BMJ express serious concerns about the public health impact of criminalising HIV transmission. view more (2006-09-29)
Even older women at high risk have little interest in being tested for HIV, study finds
Few older women were interested in being tested for the virus that causes AIDS despite having significant risk factors for lifetime exposure, according to a study published in the July/August edition of the Journal of Women's Health. view more (2007-08-08)
Well-armed immune cells help long-term nonprogressors contain HIV
To help develop an effective HIV vaccine, researchers are trying to better understand how the immune systems of a small minority of HIV-infected people known as long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) contain the virus naturally. view more (2008-12-05)
New lab test offers better prediction of HIV microbicide safety
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have devised a laboratory test for predicting whether microbicides against HIV are safe for human use. view more (2009-07-10)
The release of new data from the HVTN 502 HIV vaccine study
The new analyses revealed today from the STEP HIV vaccine clinical trial are both disappointing and puzzling. At this time, the data offer no clear explanations as to why the vaccine showed no measurable efficacy or why among individuals with background immunity to the adenovirus vector, there were more HIV infections in the vaccinees as compared... view more...

Integrating antiretroviral therapy with TB treatment for co-infections reduces mortality
A South African treatment study conducted by researchers in the Department of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health shows that mortality among TB-HIV co-infected patients can be reduced by a remarkable 55%, if antiretroviral therapy (ART) is provided with TB treatment at the same time. view more (2008-10-17)
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)
Zinc Supplements Safe for HIV-Infected Children
Zinc-deficient children living in communities where they do not receive adequate amounts of zinc from their diet should be given supplements, even if they are HIV-infected. view more (2005-11-28)
