Twin U.s. Studies Unlock Mystery Of How Hiv Causes Aids
Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said the papers offer an “elegant” solution to a question that has eluded scientists since the virus was first identified in 1983. Greene said for years, scientists had thought that HIV killed immune system cells by infecting them directly, hijacking their DNA machinery and turning them into virus-producing factories. But this only happens to a small portion of CD4 T cells. In a series of experiments in human spleen, tonsil and lymph node tissues from HIV-infected patients, the Gladstone scientists discovered that the real d...

The Hiv Life Sentence: Health Care Coverage
Eventually, the policy is strong and the logic is sound. Many have cautioned me against speaking of this truth for fear that it would lead to the careless behavior of HIV-negative men because they believe HIV is “no big deal.” It’s true, if you are able to access quality care and are able to achieve a healthy mindset in regards to managing your disease, a newly diagnosed person can live a very healthy, normal life. According to the U.S. HIV/AIDS Care Continuum, getting to that point is a total bitch. The psychological and societal barriers that a newly positive person must overcome often prove to be too m...

Good News About Life Expectancy For Young Americans With Hiv
Researchers from the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design examined the death rates among these people from the early to mid-2000s, in order to see how life expectancy increased or decreased from 2000 to 2007. Researchers found that life expectancy among HIV-positive adults taking antiretrovirals at age 20 increased dramatically, going from 36.1 in 2000 to 2002 to 51.4 in 2006 to 2007. Based on these increases in life expectancy, the researchers calculated that “a 20-year-old individual on ART today in the U.S. or Canada would expect...

Hiv Removed From Mouse Cells With Enzyme: Report
Now they hope it will lead to a cure for the virus but the likelihood of that remains to be seen. A team of researchers at the Dresden University of Technology say they managed to create an enzyme that can identify a sequence of the virus and remove it with 90 % accuracy, according to The Local . “The amount of virus was clearly reduced, and even no longer to be found in the blood,” said Professor Joachim Hauber, of Heinrich Pette Institute in Hamburg. The enzyme sometimes called “molecular scissors” gets inside the DNA double helix, cuts it up and rearranges it in a new, HIV-free pattern, accord...

Hiv/aids Patients Will Have To Pay Higher Premium For Life Insurance
He said a few insurers have already introduced cover for HIV/AIDS infected patients. I am sure more companies will bring policies, Vijayan said.

Infected Porn Stars Say The Outbreak Of Hiv Infections Shows The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Condoms
RELATED: VACCINE CURED MONKEYS OF AIDS-CAUSING VIRUS: SCIENTISTS Damian Dovarganes/AP “I do know for a fact that condoms will work, have worked, do work,” Rod Daily said at Wendesday’s news conference. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has long pushed for the porn industry to require actors to use condoms while on set, but Kink.com founder Peter Acworth says that the responsibility lies with the porn stars. “All of our models are informed that they request a condom at any time, that they can stop a shoot at any time, and that they control the scene… We take consent and safety seriously,” Ac...

Iom Supports Somali Aids Commissions To Present Their Aids Responses At The 17th International Conference On Aids And Stis In Africa (icasa)
IOM is also currently conducting another round of IBBS Survey, which is expected to contribute to the new National Strategic Plan and publish in 2014.

Scientists Find Aggressive New Hiv Strain
Gupta, however, said it was misleading to say that this new strain was the most aggressive form of AIDS yet known. Recommended: HIV Patient Has ‘HOPE’ Following Transplant “There are some HIV types here in the United States that take as little as two years to develop into AIDS,” he noted. This information is particularly troubling in light of a new CDC report that found that since 2005, there has been a 48 percent increase in unprotected anal sex in the U.S. among men who have sex with men. Men who engage in risky sexual behavior are often unaware of their positive HIV status, the report found. You ...
