An influenza vaccine that protects against death and serious complications from different strains of flu is a little closer to reality, Saint Louis University vaccine researchers have found. view more (2009-04-28)
India continues to progress in AIDS vaccine development efforts
A second Phase I AIDS vaccine clinical trial in India was successfully completed, the Indian Council of Medical Research, the National AIDS Control Organization and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative announced. The results of the trial of an MVA-based AIDS vaccine candidate (TBC-M4), which was conducted in Chennai, indicated that the... view more... (2008-08-18)
Scientists develop a new HIV microbicide -- and a way to mass produce it in plants
In what could be a major pharmaceutical breakthrough, research published online in The FASEB Journal describes how scientists from St George's, University of London have devised a one-two punch to stop HIV. view more (2009-05-29)
Protein identified that turns off HIV-fighting T cells
In HIV-infected patients the body's immune system is unable to fight off the virus. A new study to be published online on November 10th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that T cells in HIV-infected individuals express a protein called TIM-3, which inactivates their virus killing capacity. view more (2008-11-10)
Perth researchers to trial bird flu vaccine
Perth researchers have begun a trial to test the effectiveness of a new vaccine to protect against the potentially deadly bird flu. view more (2006-06-29)
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)
HIV positive and HIV negative patients have similar survival rates following liver transplant
HIV positive and HIV negative patients have comparable survival rates following liver transplant, according to new research presented today at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-24)
Circumcision for prevention of HIV: new analysis demonstrates cost-effectiveness
A team of researchers who conducted a landmark trial in Orange Farm, South Africa, which concluded that male circumcision can sub stantially reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV, have now studied the economic aspects of this approach to preventing HIV/AIDS. view more (2006-12-26)
Researchers seek to solve mystery of natural HIV control
An international, multi-institutional research consortium is seeking to discover how a few HIV-infected individuals are naturally able to suppress replication of the virus. view more (2006-08-17)
New Insight into Selective Binding Properties of Infectious HIV
Free infectious HIV-1 is widely thought to be the major form of the virus in the blood of infected persons. view more (2009-12-16)
New chemically-activated antigen could expedite development of HIV vaccine
Scientists working to develop a vaccine for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) report they have created the first antigen that induces protective antibodies capable of blocking infection of human cells by genetically-diverse strains of HIV. view more (2009-09-22)
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)
First genome-wide study of infectious disease opens new avenues for HIV treatment, vaccines
The first genome-wide association study of an infectious disease, conducted by an international group of researchers through the Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI), has yielded a new understanding of why some people can suppress virus levels following HIV infection. view more (2007-07-23)
Zambian Study Finds Longer Breastfeeding Best for HIV-Infected Mothers
A new study from Zambia suggests that halting breastfeeding early causes more harm than good for children not infected with HIV who are born to HIV-positive mothers. view more (2010-01-15)
Nanoemulsion vaccines show increasing promise
A novel technique for vaccinating against a variety of infectious diseases - using an oil-based emulsion placed in the nose, rather than needles - has proved able to produce a strong immune response against smallpox and HIV in two new studies. view more (2008-02-27)
A new step towards an AIDS vaccine
Progressive disease after HIV infection is inversely correlated with the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), a subset of the dendritic cell family and the major producers of type 1 interferon in the body. view more (2005-10-14)
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)
A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients
Helicobacter pylori has been extensively studied and proven to be the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer in the HIV-negative population. view more (2007-10-17)
AIDS vaccine research offers new insights on survival
New insights into how a subpopulation of helper T-cells provides immunity and promotes survival following infection with an AIDS-like virus offer a new means of predicting an AIDS vaccine's effectiveness, a discovery that could help scientists as they test these vaccines in clinical trials. view more (2006-06-12)
Why are so few HIV/AIDS trials conducted in Africa?
People in sub-Saharan Africa carry the heaviest burden of HIV and AIDS, yet very few trials have been conducted on the African continent over the past two decades, say researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-09-30)
