conclusions patients with hiv/aids are more likely to acquire other stis, because the same behaviors that increase the risk of becoming hiv infected can also increase the risk of acquiring stis. having a sore on the skin due to an sti can make the transmission of hiv to the sex partner more likely than people who don’t have such sore in their genital area. results among the 41 patients with hiv...

In the present study, we demonstrated that expression of the LFA-1 molecule is necessary for cell fusion and syncytia formation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected CD4+ T lymphocytes. In contrast, the lack of expression of LFA-1 does not influence significantly cell-to-cell transmission of HIV. In fact, LFA-1- T lymphocytes obtained from a leukocyte adhesion deficiency patient were u...

introduction: blood derived products have been known as an effective treatment for many years. however, this treatment is not without risk of infections transmission including hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) and human immune-deficiency virus (hiv) in people who received the blood. nevertheless, due to a high risk of blood born diseases through blood transfusion, screening fo...

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and its cause, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), are significant public health concerns. By the end of 2005, there were 40 million people infected with HIV, 5 million new cases, and 3 million deaths from AIDS worldwide [6]. HIV attacks the CD4 white blood cells, damaging the immune system. As the virus depletes the patients CD4 count, the immune ...

HIV-1 protease cleavage site prediction of an amino acid sequence Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV-1) type 1 has been the subject intense research for decades to increase AUC value without placing much attention accuracy metric by many researchers. Knowledge substrate specificity significant application in inhibitors development and studying novel drug targets. Motivated this, a multi-objecti...

human immune deficiency virus (hiv) infection is a pandemic, even among pregnant women. it has no cure and so, great importance should be placed on care and support for the sufferer. there is an increasing concern and desire to curb the high incidence of mother to child transmission (mtct) in nigeria. therefore, this study aimed at determining the prevalence and pattern of hiv infection at imo ...

Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are still global health problems. Although the incidence of HIV has decreased from 0.40 people per 1000 to 0.26 who not infected in 2016, trend is concerning. Indonesia ranked 5th as country most at risk HIV/AIDS Asia, so epidemic also a problem Indonesia. Objective: To identify determinants coping s...

BACKGROUND Testosterone (T) deficiency remains a poorly understood issue in men with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We investigated the gonadal status in HIV-infected men in order to characterize T deficiency and to identify predictive factors for low serum T. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We performed a cross-sectional, observational study on 1325 consecutive HIV male outpatients, most...

BackgroundBlood transfusion saves human lives, but also it can be a route for Transfusion-Transmissible Infections (TTIs) including Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), C (HCV), and syphilis.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with TTIs among blood donors at Regional Centre Blood Transfusion (RCBT) of Karongi, Rwanda.MethodsThis was retrospe...

In the course of a prospective study of the prevalence and incidence of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and risk factors for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome among 961 homosexual men, 97 initially HIV antibody seronegative men reported a febrile period lasting at least three days. In 60 of these men serological evidence for an infection was found: influenza A or B v...
