Older Age Of Male Partners Makes Young Women More Susceptible To Hiv-1 Infection (p 1896)
Results of a field study in Zimbabwe published in this week`s issue of THE LANCET highlight how cultural aspects of sexual behaviour are closely associated with an increased rate of HIV-1 infection among young women compared with young men. HIV-1 prevalence typically rises more rapidly at young ages in women than in men in sub-Saharan Africa. The... view more... (2002-05-29)
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)
Kidney transplant survival can be long-term for people with HIV
A Johns Hopkins study finds that HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, provided certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed. view more (2009-01-20)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
Treating HIV earlier to decrease the risk of death
Begin treatment as early as possible: this general common sense rule seems to apply to most diseases except HIV-AIDS, which is only treated once a certain number of immune cells called "CD4+" cells have disappeared. view more (2009-04-15)
HIV shifting from most to least educated in sub-Saharan Africa
HIV infections appear to be concentrating among the least educated people in Africa, reversing previous patterns which saw higher levels of infection among the most educated, according to a study published today in the journal AIDS. view more (2008-01-16)
Doctors failing to diagnose HIV early in UK Africans
Doctors are missing valuable opportunities to diagnose HIV in Africans living in the UK, with serious consequences for their long term health, according to research funded by the Wellcome Trust. view more (2007-12-07)
"EuroVacc 02" HIV Vaccine trial begins
The European Vaccine Effort against HIV/AIDS, today announced that a phase I clinical trial of novel investigational vaccines comprising DNA-HIV-C and NYVAC-HIV-C for the prevention of HIV infection has started in Lausanne and London in February 2005. These vaccines are based on HIV subtype C, which is prevalent in China, India and sub-Saharan... view more... (2005-02-16)
HIV integrase inhibitor effective for patients beginning antiretroviral treatment
A member of a new class of antiretroviral drugs is safe and effective for patients beginning treatment against HIV, according to researchers who have completed a two-year multisite phase III clinical trial comparing it with standard antiretroviral drugs. view more (2009-08-03)
Highly active antiretroviral therapy of similar benefit for HIV-infected injection drug users
Contrary to the belief that HIV-infected injection drug users (IDUs) receive less benefit from highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), new research finds little difference in the survival rate between IDUs and non-IDUs after 4-5 years of receiving HAART. view more (2008-08-04)
AIDS research agenda proposed
In an Editorial Review published in the current issue of AIDS (2006,20,7, 1-5), HIV researchers from Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and the United States address the challenging question of the impact of major social, ecological, political, economic, biomedical, viral, and other changes on the HIV epidemic and the world's ability to respond. view more (2006-04-12)
Hepatitis C at epidemic levels among young injectors in London
Levels of hepatitis C among young injecting drug users across London are reaching epidemic levels report researchers from Imperial College London, the Health Protection Agency and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. view more (2004-11-10)
Feelings of stigmatization may discourage HIV patients from proper care
The feeling of stigmatization that people living with HIV often experience doesn't only exact a psychological toll -new UCLA research suggests it can also lead to quantifiably negative health outcomes. view more (2009-10-22)
Markers of inflammation and blood-clotting tied to hazards of intermittent HIV treatment
Episodic treatment of HIV/AIDS with antiretroviral drugs increases the overall risk of death when compared with continuous antiretroviral treatment (ART), but the reasons why have been unknown. view more (2008-10-22)
Genetic variation increases HIV risk in Africans
A genetic variation which evolved to protect people of African descent against malaria has now been shown to increase their susceptibility to HIV infection by up to 40 per cent, according to new research. Conversely, the same variation also appears to prolong survival of those infected with HIV by approximately two years. view more (2008-07-17)
Exciting Development in Anti-Retroviral Drug Discovery Made at Oxford
Researchers in Oxford University's Sir William Dunn School of Pathology have developed a novel HTS for identifying antiretroviral (HIV) agents/drugs that inhibit HIV infectivity. Current anti-viral drugs prolong the quality of life for many HIV-1+ individuals, but they do not stop the virus from infecting new cells. Since these drugs mostly... view more... (2003-06-05)
HIV drug maraviroc effective for drug-resistant patients
As many as one quarter of HIV patients have drug resistance, limiting their treatment options and raising their risk for AIDS and death. view more (2008-10-02)
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)
Research uncovers signaling pathways related to brain-immune system links
New research on signaling pathways in immune cells bolsters evidence of connections between the central nervous system and the immune system. view more (2006-05-16)
HIV measurement appears to be less reliable than thought in predicting loss of CD4 cells
Preliminary research indicates that the initial HIV RNA level in untreated HIV-infected patients appears to have little value in predicting the rate of CD4 cell count decrease. view more (2006-09-27)
