Yahoo!

ScienceDaily: HIV and AIDS News 1 Sep 2010 at 11:00pm New research examines the role of the Vpr protein in HIV infection and AIDS. 1 Sep 2010 at 4:00pm Researchers reviewed published data to assess HIV-infected children's immune responses to vaccines and found that most children treated with HAART remained susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases, but responded well to revaccination. 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. 27 Aug 2010 at 7:00am Vitamin A and beta-carotene supplements are unsafe for HIV-positive women who breastfeed because they may boost the excretion of HIV in breast milk -- thereby increasing the chances of transmitting the infection to the child, a pair of new studies suggest. 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. 25 Aug 2010 at 7:00am Using a $225,000 microscope and the wisdom of Yogi Berra, researchers have identified the key components of a protein called TRIM5a that destroys HIV in rhesus monkeys. The finding could lead to new TRIM5a-based treatments that would knock out HIV in humans. 24 Aug 2010 at 1:00am Following up a pioneering 2007 proof-of-concept study, biochemists have developed a promising new anti-HIV drug candidate, PIE12-trimer, that prevents HIV from attacking human cells. 23 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm Although a cognitive-behavioral intervention to encourage men who have sex with men to reduce their substance use and sexual risk behavior (as both are linked) was partially successful, a similar reduction was achieved in comparison groups who did not receive the intervention suggesting that better methods for changing behaviors are needed. 23 Aug 2010 at 1:00pm 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. Around 10 percent of patients showed traces of the virus in their spinal fluid but not in their blood -- a larger proportion than previously realized, reveals new research from Sweden. 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." 20 Aug 2010 at 10:00am The virus that causes AIDS may undergo changes in the genital tract that make HIV-1 in semen different than what it is in the blood, according to a new study. 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. 13 Aug 2010 at 1:00am Poor kidney function is common among injection drug users, particularly those with HIV, according to a new study. The results suggest that clinicians should monitor the kidney function of HIV-infected injection drug users and consider them candidates for medical treatments to protect their kidneys when appropriate. 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. 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. |

Medscape Medical News 31 Aug 2010 at 11:00am How valuable is laboratory monitoring in HIV infection as second-line antiretroviral therapy becomes more available? JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 31 Aug 2010 at 11:00am The discovery of HIV chemokine coreceptors such as CXCR4 has opened the door for coreceptor-targeted anti-HIV therapy as an alternative to HAART. Future Microbiology 30 Aug 2010 at 11:00am How close are we to getting a vaccine for HIV-1? This new study explores some of the latest findings. AIDS Clinical Care 30 Aug 2010 at 5:00pm Ritonavir may be safely discontinued in HIV-infected patients after initial suppression with abacavir/lamivudine plus ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, according to a report in the July 5th AIDS online. Reuters Health Information 27 Aug 2010 at 11:00am At what point in the course of antiretroviral therapy are HIV infected patients most likely to transmit the infection? HIV Medicine 27 Aug 2010 at 3:34pm Older HIV-infected men, particularly heroin users with AIDS, appear to be at particular risk of reduced bone mineral density (BMD), researchers report in a July 30 online paper in AIDS Reuters Health Information 26 Aug 2010 at 10:53am What are some of the reasons why HIV infected patients are ending up in the hospital in the era of antiretroviral therapy?

msnbc.com: AIDS 5 Aug 2010 at 9:58pm NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People over 50 with HIV are more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage disease than younger adults, according to a British study. 23 Jul 2010 at 1:31pm U.S. President Barack Obama pledged on Friday to redouble efforts to fight HIV and AIDS through his global health initiative, despite dealing with economic hard times in the wake of a global recession. 22 Jul 2010 at 1:32pm Treating HIV patients in remote areas of Africa soon after they are infected and using community care teams instead of doctors can cut costs and help people live longer than those treated later, a charity said Thursday. 20 Jul 2010 at 6:12pm Routine HIV screening at a Colorado hospital identified only six more new cases than standard, targeted testing, according to a two-year study. 20 Jul 2010 at 9:59am Experts and activists are warning that AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is on the rise even as a global conference reports progress on other fronts. 19 Jul 2010 at 2:08pm Researchers are reporting a breakthrough against AIDS. A vaginal gel containing an AIDS drug cut in half a woman's chances of getting HIV from an infected partner. 19 Jul 2010 at 10:08am Scientists searching for the Holy Grail of a vaccine against the incurable AIDS virus say recent encouraging steps should now galvanize efforts to use limited funds in smarter ways to drive the field forward. 19 Jul 2010 at 7:53am Poverty is perhaps the most important factor in whether inner-city heterosexuals are infected with the AIDS virus, according to the first government study of its kind. 18 Jul 2010 at 6:46am Provocative new research shows that treating people with the AIDS virus can provide a powerful bonus: It cuts the risk that they will infect others. 18 Jul 2010 at 6:37am

8 Jul 2010 at 1:25pm Researchers have discovered antibodies that can protect against a wide range of AIDS viruses and said they may be able to use them to design a vaccine against the fatal and incurable virus. 17 Jun 2010 at 6:07pm Standard HIV tests can't identify people very recently infected with the virus, but a more sensitive test can, new research shows.
