Higher HIV infection estimate shows need for routine screening, more funding for care
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected soon to increase the estimate of new HIV infections in the United States by 40 percent. This highlights the need to make HIV testing a routine part of medical care and provide better funding to care for those who test positive, according to the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA). view more (2008-08-04)

The emergence of "POZ Parties"-parties exclusively for HIV positive men to meet other HIV positive men for sex-signals the potential to spread HIV "superinfection,"suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2005-09-29)
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)

Cytomegalovirus infection still associated with poor HIV/AIDS prognosis (p 2101, 2116)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection remains a priority in order to improve the prognosis for people with HIV-1 infection, including people already receiving antiretroviral therapy. The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) at the end of the 20th century... view more... (2004-06-23)
Having a stable partner delays AIDS in HIV patients
For people with HIV, having a stable partner is associated with slower rate of progression to AIDS or death, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Switzerland followed 3,736 adults with HIV who had started highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) before 2002. Every six months, patients were asked whether they had had sexual... view more... (2004-01-03)
