AIDS surpasses black death as deadliest disease in history

Circumcision for prevention of HIV: new analysis demonstrates cost-effectiveness
A team of researchers who conducted a landmark trial in Orange Farm, South Africa, which concluded that male circumcision can sub stantially reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV, have now studied the economic aspects of this approach to preventing HIV/AIDS. view more (2006-12-26)

EARLY ASSESSMENT PREDICTS LONG-TERM EFFICACY OF HIV-1 ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (p 1760)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how very early (one week) assessment can reliably predict the long-term effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1. Early assessment of antiretroviral drug efficacy is important for the prevention of the emergence of drug-resistant virus and unnecessary exposure to ineffective and toxic... view more...

Study shows suppressing herpes virus may reduce infectiousness of HIV
A recent study of men co-infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and HIV revealed that drugs used to suppress HSV decrease the levels of HIV in the blood and rectal secretions, which may make patients less likely to transmit the virus. view more (2007-11-16)
Antiretroviral Therapy Effective In Reducing Mother-to-child HIV-1 Transmission When Started After Childbirth (p 1171)
Results of a study from Malawi in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how antiretroviral therapy targeted at babies soon after childbirth (because their mothers' HIV diagnosis was made around the time of delivery) is still effective in preventing vertical HIV-1 transmission from mothers to their children.
