Gay, bisexual men increasingly agree: HIV ‘undetectable equals untransmittable’
Yet transmission-risk misunderstandings persist, finds large NIH-supported study
Immune system can be coaxed into selecting key antibodies to fight HIV
Animal study shows ability to overcome a long-standing hurdle in HIV vaccine development
Cancer treatment for patients with HIV
What The Study Did: For patients with HIV, CD4 counts reflect the health of their immune system and HIV RNA levels indicate their viral load. This observational study focused on how cancer treatments were associated with those two important clinical…

New Cochrane Review assesses different HPV vaccines & vaccine schedules in adolescent girls and boys
New evidence published in the Cochrane Library today provides further information on the benefits and harms of different human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and vaccine schedules in young women and men. HPV is the most common viral infection of the reproductive…
Unruly T cells complicate the intended benefits of HIV vaccines
Inducing strong responses from T helper (TH) cells – long seen as a desirable goal for HIV vaccines – and using multiple antigens can hamper the effectiveness of vaccine candidates for HIV, according to an analysis of macaque experiments and…
Creating viral targets can weaken HIV vaccination
Too many Th1 cells at mucosal sites problematic, NHP studies show
Experimental HIV vaccine successfully elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies to the virus
Vaccinated rabbits produce antibodies to at least two vulnerable sites on HIV
Malaria discovery could lead to better HIV and lupus treatments
A discovery about how the immune system responds to malaria infection could lead to better treatments for hepatitis C, HIV and lupus, say Australian researchers. The research team showed, in laboratory models, that strong inflammatory signals caused by malaria infection…

Uninfected individuals born to mothers living with HIV at risk of obesity and asthma
BOSTON – Adolescents and young adults who were born to mothers with HIV but remained uninfected themselves still face a greatly heightened risk of obesity and asthma-like symptoms, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found. In a study published…

The Affordable Care Act’s impact on insurance coverage & treatment in patients with HIV and cancer
A recent study reveals that, for people living with both HIV and cancer (PLWHC), implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) improved insurance coverage, both in states that expanded Medicaid coverage and those that did not. Lack…

New research explains how HIV avoids getting ZAPped
ANN ARBOR–Humans have evolved dynamic defense mechanisms against the viruses that seek to infect our bodies–proteins that specialize in identifying, capturing and destroying the genetic material that viruses try to sneak into our cells. A new study, scheduled to publish…
