HIV drug resistance is increasing in the UK
The prevalence of transmitted HIV drug resistance in the United Kingdom is increasing, according to a study in this week's BMJ. This finding emphasises the urgent need for new approaches to encourage safer sexual behaviour. A total of 69 patients infected with HIV between June 1994 and August 2000 were evaluated for resistance within 18 months of... view more... (2001-05-02)
Treatment outcomes of patients with HIV and tuberculosis
In a retrospective study of 700 patients with culture-positive tuberculosis (TB), relapse rates were found to be significantly higher in HIV-infected patients compared to HIV-uninfected patients following a rifamycin-based regimen. view more (2007-06-01)
U of M study shows why treatment isn't effective for HIV
University of Minnesota researchers have answered a key question as to why antiretroviral therapy isn't effective in restoring immunity in HIV-infected patients. view more (2008-08-06)
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)
Risk of HIV transmission highest early in infection
New evidence suggests that the risk of HIV transmission may be highest in the early stages of infection. According to a study published in the April 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online, early infection accounted for nearly half of all transmission occurrences in an HIV-infected population in the province of Quebec,... view more...

Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
UT Southwestern researchers refocus studies on patients with HIV, hepatitis
As HIV patients live longer thanks to advanced therapies, researchers are looking for better ways to treat accompanying maladies such as hepatitis that traditionally were not emphasized. view more (2006-10-12)
Waking up dormant HIV
HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) has emerged as an extremely effective HIV treatment that keeps virus levels almost undetectable; however, HAART can never truly eradicate the virus as some HIV always remains dormant in cells. view more (2009-03-17)
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)
Assisted reproduction provides bright future for HIV positive men - butseems less successful for women
Assisted reproduction can safely help HIV positive men to become fathers without infecting their partners, according to new research from French fertility experts. view more (2003-05-24)
Sperm may play leading role in spreading HIV
Sperm, and not just the fluid it bathes in, can transmit HIV to macrophages, T cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), report a team led by Ana Ceballos at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. view more (2009-10-26)
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)
New Study Shows Benefit of Early Therapy in HIV-infected Infants
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for infants born with HIV infection may be most effective when given in their first five months of life, according to a study published in the April 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2006-03-09)
HIV patients have increased risk of pneumonia, death following surgery
HIV-infected patients undergoing surgical procedures may be more likely to develop pneumonia after surgery and to die within 12 months than those without HIV, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-12-19)
HIV infection requires an accomplice: B cells with special protein direct HIV to T cells
HIV infection of T cells requires activation of a molecule on the surface of B cells, a finding that reveals yet another pathway the virus uses in its insidious attack on the immune system. view more (2006-08-14)
HIV isolate from Kenya provides clues for vaccine design
Two simple changes in its outer envelope protein could render the AIDS virus vulnerable to attack by the immune system, according to research from Kenya and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center published in PLoS Medicine. view more (2008-01-03)
Europe becoming complacent over HIV prevention
Rising levels of gonorrhoea and syphilis across western Europe since 1995 imply that complacency over HIV prevention efforts may have set in among individuals and some governments, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Angus Nicoll and Francoise Hamers examined national trends in diagnosed HIV infections, gonorrhoea, and infectious syphilis from... view more... (2002-05-28)
Study shows common vitamin and other micronutrient supplements reduce risks of TB recurrence
New findings show a link between micronutrient supplementation and reduced risk of recurrence during tuberculosis chemotherapy, according to a study published in the June 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2008-04-28)
Certain cancers more common among HIV patients than non-HIV patients
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that non-AIDS-defining malignancies such as anal and lung cancer have become more prevalent among HIV-infected patients than non-HIV patients since the introduction of anti-retroviral therapies in the mid-1990s. view more (2009-09-25)
LIPODYSTROPHY RISK FROM HIV-1 THERAPY (p 592)
The risk of lipodystrophy (abnormal fat distribution) in HIV-1 individuals undergoing antiretroviral therapy cannot be attributed to one antiretroviral agent, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Lipodystrophy among HIV-1-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy was formally described as a clinical entity in... view more... (2001-02-21)
