throughout the world, many migrant and mobile populations are at elevated risk for hiv. iran has a large immigrant population from neighboring afghanistan; however, few data exist on the prevalence of hiv in this community. in 2008, we conducted a study to assess the presence of hiv infection among 477 immigrants in a town to the northeast of tehran using a rapid test in the field. hiv prevalen...

How the human body reacts to exposure of HIV-1 is an important research goal. Frequently, HIV leads infection, but some individuals show natural resistance this infection; they are known as HIV-1-exposed seronegative (HESN). Others, although infected without antiretroviral therapy, control replication and progression AIDS; named controllers, maintaining low viral levels adequate count CD4 + T l...

Long-term olfactory dysfunction following coronavirus disease 2019 infection, routine neck dissection at salvage laryngectomy, parotid incidentalomas, and prescribing intranasal steroids in HIV infection - Volume 135 Issue 9

Introduction: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a worldwide infection. Because of the vast array of manifestations of AIDS and its many atypical presentations, it is becoming increasingly challenging for clinicians to accurately diagnose new lesions. Materials and Methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from 2007 to 2010, 50 patients with a proven human immunodefici...

bone disorders have emerged as a worrisome complication in hiv-infected patients in recent years. it is not clear that hiv infection itself or antiretroviral treatment or both are causes of bone loss. however, most studies have found a high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in hiv/aids patients. the objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis...

Vaccines are an effort prevent infection, until now vaccine has not been found, systematic review was conducted find out challenges and developments vaccines date, challenge developin...

Malaria and HIV are geographically in the tropics subtropics of world, including sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding overlapping effect both infections, especially among pregnant women, is crucial managing women during antenatal care visits, postpartum babies. It was realized that prevalence malaria HIV-positive ranges between 31–61%, while for non-HIV infected still stands 10 36%. Co-infection 0...

Background: Cell mediated immunity, especially cytotoxic T cell responses against HIV-1 infection, plays a critical role in controlling viral replication and disease progres-sion. DNA vaccine is a novel technology which is known to stimulate strong cellular immune responses. Many DNA vaccines have been tested for HIV infection but there is still no effective vaccine against this infection. Cons...
