Increase in malaria linked to HIV
People in developing countries with HIV-1 infection may be twice as likely to develop malarial infection and disease compared with HIV-1-negative individuals, according to research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. An association between HIV-1 and malaria is expected in theory, but has not been convincingly shown in practice. James... view more... (2000-09-20)
Autoimmune overload may damage HIV-infected brain

Herpes medication does not reduce risk of HIV transmission
A recently completed international multi-center clinical trial has found that acyclovir, a drug widely used as a safe and effective treatment to suppress herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2), which is the most common cause of genital herpes, does not reduce the risk of HIV transmission when taken by people infected with both HIV and HSV-2. view more (2009-05-08)
