Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have disproved a long-standing clinical belief that the hepatitis C virus slows or stunts the immune system’s ability to restore itself…

The life expectancy for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has increased by more than 13 years since the late 1990s thanks to advancements in antiretroviral therapy, according to researchers at the…

A study led by Roy T. Steigbigel, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Pathology, Microbiology and Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University Medical Center, and colleagues worldwide demonstrated that…

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care and treatment programs in resource-limited settings must aggressively address tuberculosis (TB) and the emerging multidrug-resistant TB epidemic to save patient lives and…

New research into the earliest events occurring immediately upon infection with HIV-I shows that the virus deals a stunning blow to the immune system earlier than was previously…

A genetic variation which evolved to protect people of African descent against malaria has now been shown to increase their susceptibility to HIV infection by up to 40 per cent,…

Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results of a study conducted by Dr. Nicole Bernard of the Research Institute of…

Talk given at the International Conference on Science and Democracy, on 20 and 21 April 2001, in Napoli, Italy.

Introduction
During my 25 years as a scientist I have watched…

The last ten years of AIDS research has spent $22 billion and produced no cure, no hope and no proof that HIV causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Prevention efforts…

Gels aimed at helping women protect themselves from the AIDS virus may end up helping men as much or more, researchers predicted on Monday.

Computer models predict…

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a global epidemic threatening the lives of millions of people. Because there is no known cure, prevention of the transmission of the virus that…

People with HIV in the developed world are no more likely to die in the first five years following infection than men and women in the general population, British researchers…

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and collaborators are using minute, naturally occurring proteins called zinc fingers to engineer T cells to one day treat…

Psychosocial influences such as stress, depression and trauma have been neglected in biomedical and treatment studies involving people infected with HIV, yet they are now known to have significant health impacts…

A protein that is one of the major predictors of Alzheimer’s disease also predicts the pace at which HIV-infected persons will progress to death, a team of U.S. scientists…

Treatment with combination anti-HIV drug therapy that includes a drug from the class known as protease inhibitors is safe and effective for the long-term treatment of previously treated HIV-infected…

Research has shown that HIV-positive African American and Hispanic men who were sexually abused as children are particularly vulnerable to engaging in high-risk sex and experiencing depressive symptoms.…

Three months of extra treatment with the drug nevirapine helps babies ward off the AIDS virus longer, and infected women do not need to rush to wean their infants,…

Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered that adding tiny bits of gold to a failed HIV drug rekindle the drug’s ability to stop the…

A mapmaker and a mathematician may seem like an unlikely duo, but together they worked out a way to measure longitude – and kept millions of sailors from getting…

By identifying a protein that restricts the release of HIV-1 virus from human cells, scientists believe they may be closer to identifying new approaches to…

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown that monitoring treatment adherence to AIDS therapy is a simple blood-free way…

A new study reveals the genetic identity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the version responsible for sexual transmission, in unprecedented detail.

The finding provides important clues in the ongoing search…

The World Bank on Wednesday unveiled a four-year strategy to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa that shifts focus from emergency response to long-term development.

The change was made possible after billions…

Scientists have broken inside a cell long suspected of harboring HIV during drug treatment and determined it is indeed a reservoir of the virus in humans, where it…
