Long awaited HIV vaccine clue found in structure of key infection protein
Two new studies reveal how US scientists managed to uncover the detailed structure of a protein that plays a key role in HIV infection. The findings offer the kind of in-depth understanding that has been missing in the development of successful vaccines against the AIDS virus. Using protein engineering and two different cutting-edge structural biology imaging techniques, collaborating teams from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and Weill Cornell Medical College have revealed a detailed atomic structure of the HIV envelope trimer known as Env...

HIV 's efficiency makes it a formidable foe
Although antiretroviral drug therapy suppresses the virus, it cannot get rid of it or end the epidemicAntiretroviral drugs have been an astounding success story, reprieving people with HIV from the brink of death and allowing them to live a full and healthy life.

New blood test for viral infections shows promise
Conclusion This research has developed a test that is able to identify past viral infections using a small sample of blood, giving an insight into a person's history of viral infections. The test could theoretically be expanded to cover other types of organisms that cause human disease, such as bacteria. No test is perfect, however, and there were some cases where a known infection was not identified (false negative) and where an infection was picked up that was not thought to have really occurred (false positive). The test detects antibodies generated in response to viruses as the result of vaccination. Antibody response...

Antiretroviral therapy: Shifting sands
Publication date: Available online 5 January 2016 Source:Medical Journal Armed Forces India Author(s): V.K. Sashindran, Rajeev Chauhan HIV/AIDS has been an extremely difficult pandemic to control. However, with the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV has now been transformed into a chronic illness in patients who have continued treatment access and excellent long-term adherence. Existing indications for ART initiation in asymptomatic patients were based on CD4 levels; however, recent evidence has broken the shackles of CD4 levels. Early initiation of ART in HIV patients irrespective of CD4 counts can have profo...
