Yahoo! News: AIDS/HIV 12 Mar 2010 at 12:19am AFP - More than 90 authors, including Nobel winner JM Coetzee, have condemned China for refusing an HIV-positive Australian writer entry to the country for a government-sponsored tour.  11 Mar 2010 at 12:26pm Reuters - Needle-exchange programs designed to cut injection drug users' risk of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and other infections do seem to reduce needle sharing, but there is only limited evidence that they lower disease transmission, a new research review concludes.  11 Mar 2010 at 6:56am AFP - The South African government on Thursday announced a ramped up AIDS plan that aims to test 15 million residents for HIV in the world's worst affected country by next June. 11 Mar 2010 at 2:38am Reuters - More than 90 Australian authors signed a letter on Thursday decrying China's refusal to grant a visa to one of the country's most celebrated writers because he was HIV-positive, a move that Beijing defended.  10 Mar 2010 at 5:31pm AFP - Former president Bill Clinton and Microsoft founder Bill Gates called Wednesday on US lawmakers to boost foreign aid to fight diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria in the world's poorest nations. 10 Mar 2010 at 5:23pm The Christian Science Monitor - Militant groups can radicalize individuals and train them to carry out terrorist acts much more quickly today, in part thanks to the Internet, according to military and counter terrorism experts testifying on Capitol Hill Wednesday.  10 Mar 2010 at 11:11am AFP - AIDS 2010, the 18th International AIDS Conference being held in Vienna later this year, will focus on marginalised groups living with the disease, such as injecting drug users in Eastern Europe, organisers said Wednesday.  10 Mar 2010 at 10:04am AFP - African trucking routes, long known as pathways for spreading HIV across borders, have been drawn in new maps that also direct drivers to clinics that treat AIDS, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.  9 Mar 2010 at 5:30pm AFP - Britain announced Tuesday one million pounds in aid to South Africa for the purchase of condoms to tackle HIV and AIDS in the world's worst-affected country ahead of the 2010 World Cup.  9 Mar 2010 at 1:16pm Reuters - Although studies in Africa have shown that circumcision can lower the spread of HIV among heterosexuals, it may not do much to prevent infections among gay and bisexual men in Western countries, a new study suggests. 8 Mar 2010 at 10:48pm HealthDay - SUNDAY, March 7 (HealthDay News) -- Medications can reduce the level of the AIDS virus in the blood to zero, but HIV doesn't disappear and often roars back when patients stop taking their pills. Now, research is giving scientists new insight into how the virus manages to hide and avoid the killing powers of medicine.  8 Mar 2010 at 10:41am AFP - Within five years, the world could shield all newborns from HIV, while making strides in reducing deaths from malaria and tuberculosis, the Global Fund to fight the three diseases said Monday.  8 Mar 2010 at 10:29am AP - Cuts in donor funding could cause an HIV "nightmare," the United Nations' AIDS agency chief warned Monday.  8 Mar 2010 at 9:55am Reuters - Malaria could be eliminated as a public health problem within a decade in most countries where it is now endemic, an international organization that funds the treatment and prevention of killer diseases said on Monday. 8 Mar 2010 at 5:44am AFP - Within five years the world could shield all newborns from HIV, while making strides in reducing deaths from malaria and tuberculosis, the Global Fund to fight the three diseases said Monday. |
ScienceDaily: HIV and AIDS News 13 Mar 2010 at 4:00am A research team has shown how PEGylated polylysine dendrimers, a new type of nano-sized drug delivery system, can be altered to target either the lymphatic system or the bloodstream, which may improve the treatment of particular types of diseases. 9 Mar 2010 at 4:00pm New findings may soon lead to an expansion of the drug arsenal used to fight HIV. 9 Mar 2010 at 10:00am Antiviral drugs have reduced AIDS to more of chronic disease rather than a death sentence, but why is the disease so hard to cure? New research shows that bone marrow, previously thought to be resistant to the virus, can contain latent forms of the infection. Targeting these reservoirs of latent cells may open the door to new treatments. 4 Mar 2010 at 10:00am A recent report confirmed that 3.5 to 5.3 million people (1-2 percent of the US population) have chronic hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infections. Despite efforts by federal, state and local government agencies to control and prevent these diseases, they remain a serious public health concern. 2 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A clinical trial of a vaccine against a major cause of pneumonia and meningitis has shown that it can prevent three out of four cases of re-infection in HIV-infected adults in Africa. The trials, conducted in Malawi, studied the efficacy of a vaccine against infection with the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. 2 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm Researchers have announced an HIV vaccination strategy that has been shown to expand the breadth and depth of immune responses in rhesus monkeys. Rhesus monkeys provide the best animal model currently available for testing HIV vaccines. 2 Mar 2010 at 10:00pm Problems controlling common diseases like HIV, heart disease and diabetes in poor countries could be hindering efforts to meet the world’s key child health and tuberculosis goals, a new study has warned. 28 Feb 2010 at 4:00am Researchers have successfully removed CCR5 -- a cell receptor to which HIV-1 binds for infection but which the human body does not need -- from human cells. Individuals who naturally lack the CCR5 receptor have been found to be essentially resistant to HIV. 28 Feb 2010 at 4:00am A new study found that while nevirapine works well to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, a single dose of nevirapine in infected pregnant women can trigger resistance to some forms of the AIDS-drug cocktail (antiretrovirals). This nevirapine-induced resistance fades after about 12 months and no longer hinders the cocktail, UAB researchers say. 26 Feb 2010 at 1:00pm For the first time researchers from the U.S. and abroad have shown a single-dose HIV DNA vaccine can induce a long-lasting HIV-specific immune response in nonhuman primates, a discovery that could prove significant in the development of HIV vaccines. 26 Feb 2010 at 4:00am A new study by researchers in Spain shows that dendritic cells in HIV positive patients who spontaneously control the infection produce high levels of alpha-defensins. Results show that cells from these patients produce higher levels of alpha-defensins than the non-infected ones. This reveals a better control of HIV and slower disease progression. The study of patients, especially elite controllers, is relevant since these individuals demonstrate that natural control of HIV without therapy is possible. 25 Feb 2010 at 4:00pm Initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) during tuberculosis therapy significantly reduced mortality rates by 56 percent in a randomized clinical trial of 642 patients co-infected with HIV and tuberculosis. The study, which provides further impetus for the integration of TB and HIV services, lays to rest the controversy on whether co-infected patients should initiate ART during or after TB treatment. 25 Feb 2010 at 1:00am A new study confirms that a single dose of nevirapine (sdNVP) can lead to HIV treatment failure in women who receive the drug to prevent transmission of the AIDS virus to their infants. However, the increased risk of failure could only be detected in women who began full HIV treatment within about a year after receiving sdNVP. 20 Feb 2010 at 10:00am A comprehensive population-based study shows that expanded highly active antiretroviral therapy coverage was associated with a 50 percent decrease in new yearly HIV infections among injection drug users. 19 Feb 2010 at 7:00am In a new phase II study using gene therapy to combat HIV, seven of eight subjects experienced a decrease in viral load set point and one subject experienced prolonged, complete control of HIV viremia for more than 14 weeks in the absence of HAART. The study looked at Lexgenleucel-T infusions in HIV-1 infected individuals prior to being taken off their antiretroviral treatment regimens as part of the study design's scheduled treatment interruption. |

JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 12 Mar 2010 at 11:00am Doctors are often unaware that they're missing out on billing charges for services they render outside the hospital. Here's how to ensure that they get paid for all services they perform.
