Researchers induce HIV-neutralizing antibodies that recognize HIV-1 envelope protein, lipids
For the first time, researchers have experimentally induced antibodies that neutralize HIV-1 and simultaneously recognize both HIV-1 envelope protein and lipids. view more (2009-09-02)
FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking place and would, therefore, reduce the likelihood... view more... (1999-03-11)
Harvard scientists solve mystery about why HIV patients are more susceptible to TB infection
A team of Harvard scientists has taken an important first step toward the development of new treatments to help people with HIV battle Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. view more (2009-07-01)
Parasitic worm infections increase susceptibility to AIDS viruses
Persons infected with schistosomes, and possibly other parasitic worm infections, may be more likely to become infected with HIV than persons without worm infections, according to a study published July 23rd in the open-access journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. view more (2008-07-23)
Herpes drug inhibits HIV in patients infected with both viruses
Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), McGill University and other institutions have discovered how a simple antiviral drug developed decades ago suppresses HIV in patients who are also infected with herpes. view more (2008-09-16)
COST-EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENTS IMPORTANT FOR HIV RESPONSE IN AFRICA (p 1635)
A systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the importance of cost-effectiveness evaluation to identify realistic intervention programmes to tackle HIV/AIDS in Africa. HIV/AIDS accounts for around 20% of all deaths in Africa. The cost-effectiveness of interventions is important as African governments face difficult choices... view more... (2002-05-08)
Male circumcision reduces HIV risk, study stopped early
A University of Illinois at Chicago study has been stopped early due to preliminary results indicating that medical circumcision of men reduces their risk of acquiring HIV during heterosexual intercourse by 53 percent. view more (2006-12-14)
'Good bacteria' in women give clues for slowing HIV transmission
Beneficial bacteria found in healthy women help to reduce the amount of vaginal HIV among HIV-infected women and make it more difficult for the virus to spread, boosting the possibility that "good bacteria" might someday be tapped in the fight against HIV. view more (2008-02-07)
U of M identifies cell line that is resistant to retroviruses, including HIV
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a protein that enables viruses such as HIV to infect cells and spread through the body. view more (2006-10-18)
Vaccine to cope with viral diversity in HIV
The ability of HIV-1 to develop high levels of genetic diversity and acquire mutations to escape immune pressures contributes to our difficulties in producing a vaccine. view more (2007-04-27)
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)
Wild gorillas carriers of a SIV virus close to the AIDS virus
In 2005, 40.3 million people in the world, including 25.8 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, were living with HIV. The question of the origin of HIV-1, responsible for the AIDS pandemic, has been stimulating the scientific community for many years. view more (2006-11-14)
Gladstone scientists identify key factor that controls HIV latency
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes of Virology and Immunology (GIVI) have found another clue that may lead to eradication of HIV from infected patients who have been on antiretroviral therapy. view more (2009-06-26)
Primate Bushmeat : Populations exposed to Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses
Both HIV-1 and HIV-2 are of zoonotic origin , and the closest simian relatives of HIV-1 and HIV-2 have been found in the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) respectively. Given that humans come in frequent contact with primates in many parts of subsaharan Africa, particularly through hunting and handling... view more... (2002-03-22)
Study shows link between alcohol consumption and HIV disease progression
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found a link between alcohol consumption and HIV disease progression in HIV-infected persons. view more (2007-08-21)
Anti-HIV gel proven safe, tolerable for women
An experimental anti-HIV gel is safe for women to use on a daily basis, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. view more (2008-02-26)
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)
New findings indicate HIV/AIDS pandemic began around 1900, earlier than previously thought
New research indicates that the most pervasive global strain of HIV began spreading among humans between 1884 and 1924, not during the 1930s, as previously reported. view more (2008-10-02)
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENT FOR HIV INFECTION (p1320)
It is well known that treatment of HIV-1 infection (that may lead to AIDS) has side effects, but there are few studies of how many people having treatment are affected by adverse reactions. In a study of 1160 people receiving antiretroviral treatment, published in The Lancet this week, Jacques Fallon and colleagues from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study... view more... (2001-10-17)
Patients and their doctors have different perceptions about HIV and its treatment
According to results of a nation-wide study published in the latest issue of SAGE Publications' Journal of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (JIAPAC), HIV positive patients and their doctors have very different views about the disease and how it's treated. view more (2006-05-22)
