Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
Update on tuberculosis - 2005
A reduction in tuberculosis (TB) incidence, prevalence and death rate can be achieved by 2015 in most parts of the world, with the greatest challenges occurring in Africa and Eastern Europe, according to a projection by the Stop TB Department of the World Health Organization. view more (2006-03-01)
'POZ parties' signal potential to spread HIV 'superinfection'
The emergence of "POZ Parties"-parties exclusively for HIV positive men to meet other HIV positive men for sex-signals the potential to spread HIV "superinfection,"suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2005-09-29)

Science commentary stresses need for collaboration at local level in HIV-prevention studies
Clinical trials of drugs intended to prevent HIV infection in high-risk populations must be developed and carried out in close collaboration with the local communities and national governments of the countries in which they are conducted, according to 18 international leaders in HIV prevention writing in the current (Sept. 30, 2005) issue of... view more...

Mayo Clinic boosts immune system
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a way to dramatically boost the output of immune system cells from the thymus, which may lead to improved cancer vaccines, as well as to ways to otherwise strengthen immune responses. view more (2005-09-23)
Anti-HIV drug has potential to prevent transmission in women
A new study from infectious disease researchers at The Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School finds that a drug already given orally to treat HIV is also safe when applied as a vaginal microbicide gel. view more (2006-02-10)
AIDS inflicts specific pattern of brain damage, reveals UCLA/Pittsburgh imaging study
A new UCLA/University of Pittsburgh imaging study for the first time shows the selective pattern of destruction inflicted by AIDS on brain regions that control motor, language and sensory functions. view more (2005-10-11)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)

UC Davis study finds HIV hiding from drugs in gut, preventing immune recovery
UC Davis researchers have discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus, the virus that causes AIDS, is able to survive efforts to destroy it by hiding out in the mucosal tissues of the intestine. view more (2006-07-31)

Anti-HIV drugs unlikely to stop HIV spread
Researchers believe antiretroviral therapy (ART) will not be effective in stopping HIV epidemics even if it is made universally available in poorer countries, and that widespread use could even lead to an increase in the numbers infected with HIV. view more (2006-03-14)
AIDS-related cognitive impairment exists in two separate forms
Cognitive impairment in people with AIDS exists in two forms - one mild, another severe - each affecting different areas of the brain. view more (2006-04-06)
