Research presented at IDWeek has discovered that users of the social networking app, Grindr, took more risks and had more partners but were more likely to use, or be open to using, PrEP compared with those who didn’t use the app.
Researchers have developed an animal model mimicking HIV infection in infants, potentially allowing the development of therapeutics and interventions for the pediatric population.
In a new sequencing study, researchers discovered a transcriptional signature in B cells associated with protection from SIV or HIV infection.
Find out more about the headlines from the 10th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2019) in our round-up of conference news.
Despite long-term antiretroviral therapy, cerebrospinal HIV reservoirs have been identified in individuals living with the virus and linked with a higher rate of cognitive defects.
A new study using CRISPR-Cas9 and long-acting slow-effective release antiretroviral therapy has reported the elimination of replication-competent HIV-1 DNA from the genomes of living animals for the first time.
In this interview we talk to Jose Arribas about the challenges facing antiretroviral treatments and the future of long-acting formulations for HIV. What new drugs might we have for this disease in the coming years? Read our interview to find out more.
In this interview we speak to David Padley from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control about his recent poster ‘Point-of-Care testing for HIV: specialist quality control materials are a necessity’, presented at ECCMID 2019.
Take a look at this month’s industry headlines including US FDA approvals for Mavyret (hepatitis C) and Dengvaxia, a rejection for Contepo and profits for Gilead Sciences.
Early antiretroviral treatment in people with HIV infection could allow the generation of more functional and persistent CD8 T cell responses. The results, which suggest a long-term immune memory, could have implications for HIV vaccine development.
