Testing times: Detecting HIV in resource-limited settings
Integrating HIV testing programmes into primary medical care can help achieve early diagnosis of HIV infection, even in relatively poor areas, research published in the online open access journal AIDS Research and Therapy has shown. view more (2007-11-29)
New findings suggest strategy to help generate HIV-neutralizing antibodies
New discoveries about anti-HIV antibodies may bring researchers a step closer to creating an effective HIV vaccine, according to a new paper co-authored by scientists at the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2009-11-20)
Researchers discover how leukaemia virus spreads through the body
Researchers from Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Kagoshima University (Japan) and University of the Ryukyus (Japan) have discovered the mechanism by which human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the virus which causes adult T-cell leukaemia, spreads through the body. view more (2003-02-12)
HIV-1 spread through six transmission lines in the UK
Contrary to the prevailing belief that the HIV epidemic in the UK can be traced back to one source, a new study suggests that HIV spread via at least six independent virus introductions and subsequent transmission chains. The findings, published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also suggest that antiviral... view more... (2005-03-14)
Mutation protects from HIV - and increases risk of hepatitis C
More than 40 million people worldwide are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. In Africa alone this incurable immune deficiency caused more than two million deaths last year. Yet some people are resistant to infection: the reason for this is a mutation in their DNA which prevents the HIV virus from invading certain immune cells and... view more... (2002-07-17)
Study Shows AIDS Drugs Cost-Effective, Care Underfunded
New research shows that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is very cost-effective, despite the high price tag. However, the study also shows that reimbursement to physicians treating patients with HIV is critically low, threatening patients' access to care. view more (2006-02-28)
Pre-chewed food could transmit HIV
Researchers have uncovered the first cases in which HIV almost certainly was transmitted from mothers or other caregivers to children through pre-chewed food. view more (2009-07-22)
HIV is a 'double hit' to the brain
New evidence reported in the August issue of Cell Stem Cell, a publication of Cell Press, offers a novel perspective on how the HIV/AIDS virus leads to learning and memory deficits, a condition known as HIV-associated dementia. view more (2007-08-16)
Meth Promotes Spread of Virus in HIV-Infected Users
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have presented the first evidence that the addictive drug methamphetamine, or meth, also commonly known as "speed" or "crystal," increases production of a docking protein that promotes the spread of the HIV-1 virus in infected users. view more (2006-08-07)
AIDS discovered in wild chimpanzees
Although the AIDS virus (HIV-1) entered the human population through chimpanzees, scientists have long believed that chimpanzees don't develop AIDS. view more (2009-07-23)
Discovery of the origin of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) in the chimpanzee
The origin of HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-1), responsible for the global Aids pandemic, has been a live issue in the scientific community for many years. It is now recognized that HIV-1 in the human population results from cross-species transmission of SIVcpz, from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) to humans, most likely through... view more...

HIV vaccine regimen demonstrates modest preventive effect in Thailand clinical study
In an encouraging development, an investigational vaccine regimen has been shown to be well-tolerated and to have a modest effect in preventing HIV infection in a clinical trial involving more than 16,000 adult participants in Thailand. view more (2009-09-24)
Decline in blood platelet count associated with increased risk of HIV-related dementia
HIV patients with declining platelet counts appear to be at increased risk for HIV-associated dementia, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-09-11)
Resistant HIV quickly hides in infants' cells
New evidence shows that drug-resistant virus passed from mother-to-child can quickly establish itself in infants' CD4+ T cells where it can hide for years, likely limiting their options for future treatment. view more (2007-05-01)
Pregnancy may slow -- not accelerate -- progression to AIDS
A new study may help put to rest fears that pregnancy accelerates progression to full-blown AIDS in women with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy. view more (2007-09-20)
Montreal researchers identify defects of immune cells
Researchers at Université de Montréal and the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) have successfully identified a defective immune cell population that determines susceptibility to candidiasis, a common and often debilitating infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). view more (2006-06-22)
Researchers cast doubt on hypothesis that stigma fuels HIV epidemic
The dominant view in the public health community is that the stigma of being HIV positive fuels the HIV epidemic, and yet there is a lack of evidence to support this view. view more (2006-10-31)
Ultra deep sequencing identifies HIV drug resistance at early stage
Rare, previously undetectable drug-resistant forms of HIV have been identified by Yale School of Medicine researcher Michael Kozal, M.D., using an innovative genome sequencing technology that quickly detects rare viral mutations. view more (2007-06-18)
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. Zidovudine and nevirapine have been... view more... (2003-10-08)
Focusing HIV treatment helps control concurrent hepatitis B infection
Prolonged use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to treat people infected with both HIV and hepatitis B (HBV) helps to better control the hepatitis B infection and could delay or prevent liver complications. view more (2009-07-15)
