A drug combination used to prevent pneumonia and opportunistic bacterial infection in persons with HIV/AIDS has unexpectedly been found to be highly effective at preventing malaria. view more (2005-10-19)
Study reveals gap in HIV testing knowledge among college students
Most college students understand how they can prevent the transmission of HIV but are less knowledgeable about HIV testing, according to a new University of Georgia study. view more (2008-08-28)
Heavy drinking can hasten the progression of the simian immunodeficiency virus disease
Alcohol abuse can impair a person's immune system, leading to infections like pneumonia. Alcohol abuse is also more common among individuals already infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than among the population as a whole. view more (2006-09-25)
Involving partners of pregnant women in Africa to improve AIDS prevention

Hepatitis B drug can compromise HIV treatment
Treating hepatitis B patients with the drug entecavir can cause those who are also infected with HIV to become resistant to two of the most important drugs in the anti-HIV arsenal. view more (2007-06-21)
Existing antiretroviral drugs may thwart vaginal HIV transmission, researchers report
Prescription drugs now used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection in adults may prevent the vaginal transmission of HIV, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-01-15)
Effects of bacterial pneumonia no worse for HIV-positive patients
Pneumonia doesn't appear to harm HIV-positive patients any more than those without HIV, according to a new international study conducted in part by the University of Alberta. view more (2005-09-28)
THREEFOLD INCREASED RISK OF DEATH AMONG HIV-1 INFECTED BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS IN LESS-DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
HIV-1 infected mothers in less-developed countries who breastfeed their infants could be more than three times more likely to die within two years of giving birth compared with mothers who use formula milk, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The study also found that illness and death was increased among children of... view more... (2001-05-23)
HIV Infection Stems From Few Viruses
A new study reveals the genetic identity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the version responsible for sexual transmission, in unprecedented detail. view more (2008-05-16)
NIAID describes challenges, prospects for an HIV vaccine
Events of the past year in HIV vaccine research have led some to question whether an effective HIV vaccine will ever be developed. In the August 28 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, examine the extraordinarily... view more...

Cancer-causing virus associated with higher risk of new HIV infection
Infection with anal human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can cause anal and cervical cancers, is associated with a higher risk of new HIV infection in previously HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM), according to new UCSF research. view more (2009-05-01)
Clues to ensuring anti-HIV drugs are taken in Africa
HIV-infected patients in the African country of Tanzania were more likely to stop taking their medications and to fail treatment if they had to pay for the drugs themselves. view more (2007-10-23)
Lifetime trauma may speed progression of HIV, early death
Even though effective drug cocktails have improved the outlook for many patients with HIV, disease progression, including the time from AIDS onset to death, varies widely from patient to patient. view more (2007-11-02)
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)
Protein that provides innate defense against HIV could lead to new treatments
By identifying a protein that restricts the release of HIV-1 virus from human cells, scientists believe they may be closer to identifying new approaches to treatment. The research is published in the advance online edition of Nature Medicine. view more (2008-05-27)
Effective HIV control may depend on viral protein targeted by immune cells
An effective response of the immune system's 'killer' T cells against infection with HIV may depend on exactly which viral protein is targeted, according to an international group of researchers. view more (2006-12-18)
Viral recombination another way HIV fools the immune system
When individuals infected with HIV become infected with a second strain of the virus, the two viral strains can exchange genetic information, creating a third, recombinant strain of the virus. It is known that the presence of multiple viral strains, called superinfection, frequently leads to a loss of immune control of viral levels. view more (2008-07-22)
Many pregnant women avoid HIV screening in Africa
'Prevention is the best cure' is a common expression, but what happens if preventative measures are not used? A large proportion of pregnant Ugandan women are going out of their way not to be HIV tested, increasing the risk of mother-to-child transmission. view more (2009-11-20)
