Background and Aims: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spreading rapidly among the people worldwide. Infection with this virus leads to immune suppression and finally acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Early HIV detection is dependent on antibody screening against virus by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Some confirmatory tests such as Western Blot and Recombinant Immunobl...

Mathematical models have the potential to contribute design and evaluate infectivity spreading growth of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Providing a better understanding dynamics HIV infection in vivo immune system interactions with can improve classification infected cells drive an early diagnosis disease drug evaluations. We analyze two-dimensional environment model from new perspective, ...

Objective(s): Candidiasis infection caused by Candida albicans has been known as a major problem in patients with immune disorders. The objective of this study was to genotype the C. albicans isolates obtained from oral cavity of patients with positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV+) with or/and without oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC). Materials and Methods:A total of 100 C. albicans isolat...

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a serious problem worldwide. Recent advances in the knowledge about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and the treatment of HIV infection have improved survival in HIV patients. Because of the longer survival in HIV patients, the more manifestations of late-stage HIV infection will be seen, including HIV-related cardiac diseases. The common card...

To develop preventive or therapeutic interventions for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), experimental infection model systems are needed for studying human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of AIDS. However, since HIV-1 infect only human and chimpanzee, it is difficult to conduct the infected animal experiments with HIV-1 itself. Simian immunodeficiency virus (...

BACKGROUND Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective method of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention available to prescribe on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme general schedule. OBJECTIVE The aim this article provide information and guidance general practitioners (GPs) other healthcare providers providing PrEP, discuss efficacy, adverse effects, monitoring further resource...
