Our objective was to study the humoral immune response o...

متن کاملCharacterization of anti-HIV-1 neutralizing and binding antibodies in chronic HIV-1 subtype C infection.
Neutralizing (nAbs) and high affinity binding antibodies may be critical for an efficacious HIV-1 vaccine. We characterized virus-specific nAbs and binding antibody responses over 21 months in eight HIV-1 subtype C chronically infected individuals with heterogeneous rates of disease progression. Autologous nAb titers of study exit plasma against study entry viruses were significantly higher tha...
متن کاملDrug injecting and HIV risk among injecting drug users in Hai Phong, Vietnam: a qualitative analysis
BACKGROUND Hai Phong, located in northern Vietnam, has become a high HIV prevalence province among Injecting Drug Users (IDUs) since the infection shifted from the southern to the northern region of the country. Previous research indicates high levels of drug and sex related risk behaviour especially among younger IDUs. Our recent qualitative research provides a deeper understanding of HIV risk...
متن کاملPolitical and Governance Challenges to Achieving Global HIV Goals with Injecting Drug Users: The Case of Pakistan

This ambitious new goal is occurring in a context of global “scale-down” following nearly a decade of heightened investment in HIV ...
