BACKGROUND HIV-1 acute infection, recent infection and transmitted drug resistance screening was integrated into voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT) services to enhance the existing surveillance program in San Francisco. This study describes newly-diagnosed HIV cases and characterizes correlates associated with infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A consecutive sample of persons p...

BACKGROUND Young Southern African women have the highest HIV incidence globally. Pregnancy doubles the risk of HIV acquisition further, and maternal HIV acquisition contributes significantly to the paediatric HIV burden. Little data on combination HIV prevention interventions during pregnancy and lactation are available. We measured HIV incidence amongst pregnant and postpartum women receiving ...

Two indirect methods were used to estimate the point prevalence of HIV infection in England and Wales at the end of 1993 using data on diagnosed HIV infections, AIDS cases, HIV-related deaths and HIV testing behaviour from unlinked anonymous surveys. The methods estimated the proportion of all prevalent HIV infections that diagnosed infections represented. Most of those exposed to HIV infection...

We review the changes in incidences of HIV-related opportunistic infections and the safety of discontinuation of primary and secondary prophylaxis for HIV-related opportunistic infections in patients achieving immune restoration after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HIV-related opportunistic infections continue to occur in patients who are newly diagnosed with ...

Abstract HIV/AIDS is a fatal illness that weakens the immune system of body, making victim susceptible to several opportunistic infections. The analysis and numerical simulation proposed epidemic model with vertical transmission was carried out. disease free endemic equilibrium were obtained basic reproduction number established. Numerical simulations using homotropy perturbation method employe...

Background: Scleroderma is a chronic systemic disorder that affects the connective tissues. It is characterized by several immune manifestations, inflammation, vascular damage, and fibrosis. Some of the viral infections with complex mechanisms are involved in the development and progression of many autoimmune diseases, such as scleroderma. The present study aimed to investigate the serological ...

This comprehensive collection of papers contains a wide range studies and observations centered on antiviral therapies, with particular focus HIV other viral infections such as monkeypox SARS-CoV-2 [...]

INTRODUCTION HIV infection continues to disproportionately affect men who have sex with men (MSM). Identification of modifiable risk factors for HIV infection among MSM is critical for effective prevention. METHODS We examined the relationship between number of prior rectal Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) or Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections and HIV seroconversion in a retrospective cohort of ...
