Researchers discover new battleground for viruses and immune cells
Vaccines have led to many of the world's greatest public health triumphs, but many deadly viruses, such as HIV, still elude the best efforts of scientists to develop effective vaccines against them. view more (2008-02-07)
HIV's impact in Zimbabwe explored in new research
The impact of HIV in Zimbabwe since the early 1980s is explored in new research published this week in the journal PNAS. view more (2007-08-28)
A study of men who have sex with men
Unprotected intercourse is primarily something that takes place with a steady partner. This intercourse is not seen as risky behavior in these men, but rather as a significant way of creating intimacy between the two. This is one of the foremost findings of a socio-sexual study of men who have sex with other men. Just over two decades have passed... view more... (2003-11-05)
Study shows suppressing herpes virus may reduce infectiousness of HIV
A recent study of men co-infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and HIV revealed that drugs used to suppress HSV decrease the levels of HIV in the blood and rectal secretions, which may make patients less likely to transmit the virus. view more (2007-11-16)
Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood. view more (2006-08-28)
UTMB researchers test new vaccine to fight multiple influenza strains
A universal vaccine effective against several strains of influenza has passed its first phase of testing, according to Dr. Christine Turley of the University of Texas at Galveston. view more (2008-08-22)
Concern over uncontrolled use of HIV drugs
Uncontrolled use of antiretroviral drugs in developing countries could accelerate HIV resistance, warn researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-06-18)
Human foreskin may have a key role in passing on HIV infection
Human foreskin may have a key role in helping to pass on HIV infection, suggests research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2003-12-18)
Combination of HIV/malaria increases complications during pregnancy
Women with a combined HIV/malaria infection more frequently experience complications during pregnancy than healthy women. This is revealed in research from Kenya. However, to their surprise the researchers established that HIV-infected mothers with a mild malaria infection less frequently transmit the HIV infection to their children than... view more...

Genomic analysis uncovers new targets for HIV vaccine
An international team of researchers has identified three gene variants in the DNA of 486 people infected with HIV that appear to have helped some of the patients fight off the virus and delay the onset of full-blown AIDS. view more (2007-07-20)
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)
Cancer vaccine one step closer
Andreea Ioan-Facsinay from Leiden University Medical Center has attached proteins from tumour cells to antibodies. With these she treated immune cells from a mouse. These treated cells were used to make a vaccine, which was shown to be effective in animal experiments. If the follow-up research is successful, vaccines against cancer will become... view more...

HIV in the nervous system - still a cause for concern?
HIV infection can be controlled with antiretroviral drugs, but it cannot be wiped out. New evidence suggests that low levels of HIV may still lead to long-term brain damage and dementia, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick. "There is concern for... view more... (2002-04-02)
Study shows that many children of HIV-positive parents are not in their custody
A new joint study by UCLA and the Rand Corp. shows that more than half of children with an HIV-infected parent are not consistently in that parent's custody. view more (2007-05-07)
MU scientists 'see' how HIV matures into an infection
After improving the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), researchers at the University of Missouri actually watched the HIV-1 protease mature from an inactive form into an active infection. This process has never been directly visualized before. The findings appear today in the journal Nature. view more (2008-10-02)
Has HIV Become More Virulent?
Damage to patients' immune systems is happening sooner now than it did at the beginning of the HIV epidemic, suggesting the virus has become more virulent. view more (2009-04-08)
HIV-1 kills immune cells in the gut that may never bounce back
People with HIV have been living longer, healthier lives since the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (or HAART) in 1995. In fact, most patients on the drug regimen do so well that, according to blood tests, their immune cells appear to return to pre-HIV levels. view more (2006-12-05)
FDA ignores critical information on home HIV tests
The FDA is ignoring critical information in deciding whether to approve an over-the-counter, rapid HIV test for home use. view more (2009-05-29)
Spread of HIV Could Slow if Repeat Testing is Supported
Findings of a recent study published in Public Health Nursing suggest that if the main barriers preventing high-risk populations from having routine testing for HIV are addressed, the spread of AIDS could be slowed in the US. view more (2004-10-26)
Hope For New Meningitis Vaccine
Research performed by scientists at the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, University of Surrey and the Health Protection Agency (Porton Down, Salisbury) provides hope for developing a new meningitis vaccine that will protect children against all groups of meningococcus. Published in the journal, Infection and Immunity, the research... view more... (2004-01-05)
