30 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm
Anaesthetists are calling for greater clarity on the legal implications of testing incapacitated patients for blood-borne viruses (BBV), after a survey found that this is often done following staff needlestick injuries, in possible breach of legislation. An anonymous survey of 99 intensive care units in England, Wales and Northern Ireland showed that 62 had recorded an incident where a member of staff had suffered a needlestick injury while caring for an incapacitated patient in the last 12 months.

Antiviral gene helps suppress jumping of AIDS viruses between host species
25 Aug 2010 at 7:00pm
The human AIDS viruses originated as viruses of apes and monkeys, respectively, yet little is known about whether or how these invaders adapted to the new genetic "environment" encountered in humans. One group of host genes, collectively known as restriction factors, is thought to influence the ability of such viruses to move between different primate species.

Studies of the spinal fluid of patients given anti-HIV drugs have resulted in new findings suggesting that the brain can act as a hiding place for the HIV virus.

Researchers identify two FDA approved drugs that may fight HIV
21 Aug 2010 at 7:00am
Researchers have identified two drugs that, when combined, may serve as an effective treatment for HIV. The two drugs, decitabine and gemcitabine -- both FDA approved and currently used in pre-cancer and cancer therapy -- were found to eliminate HIV infection in the mouse model by causing the virus to mutate itself to death -- an outcome researchers dubbed "lethal mutagenesis."

AIDS virus changes in semen make it different than in blood

A cure for HIV could be all in the 'mix'
19 Aug 2010 at 1:00pm
Current HIV treatments do not eradicate HIV from host cells but rather inhibit virus replication and delay the onset of AIDS. However, new research has yielded an innovative approach to eliminate HIV in host by targeted killing of only HIV infected cells. This approach if successful could lead into an anti-HIV therapy that will eradicate the virus.

Poor kidney function common among HIV-infected injection drug users
13 Aug 2010 at 1:00am

'New' human adenovirus may not make for good vaccines, after all
11 Aug 2010 at 1:00pm
In a new study of four adenovirus vectors, researchers show that a reportedly rare human adenovirus, AdHu26, is not so rare, after all, and would not be optimal as a vaccine carrier. As previous research has shown, a viral vector may be ineffective if the virus it is based on is common. The study supports the use of chimpanzee adenoviruses as vaccine vectors, since humans have little exposure to these viruses.

New approaches could help defeat HIV
10 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm
Drug resistance remains a major problem in combating HIV infection, but a different approach to drug development could be the answer. Current viral inhibitors target the HIV-1 protease function with a competitive mechanism. New research suggests that pharmaceutical companies look at compounds that use an allosteric non-competitive mechanism of inhibition.
