Parasitic worms may help fuel AIDS epidemic: study
kavin submitted, created time 2 months 1 week (www.reuters.com)
People infected with parasitic worms may be much more susceptible to the AIDS virus, according to a study published on Tuesday that may help explain why HIV has hit sub-Saharan Africa particularly hard.
The study involving monkeys demonstrated how a type of parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis, which affects 200 million people globally, may make HIV infection more likely.
Much lower amounts of the AIDS virus--seventeen times lower--were needed to cause infection in monkeys who had the parasitic worms than in the parasite-free monkeys, the researchers said

Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results of a study conducted by Dr. Nicole Bernard of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) bring us closer to a genetic explanation. Her study findings were published on July 16 in the journal AIDS.
The simultaneous expression of certain versions of two specific genes called KIR3DL1 and HLA-B*57 is thought to be at the root of some cases of this innate resistance to HIV infection

The 4th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment & Prevention closed Wednesday with a call for the development of child-specific drugs to ensure millions of HIV-infected children not only survive to adulthood, but also live without damaging side effects from their treatment.

The findings of a new study suggest, although women diagnosed with advanced breast cancer general do not have as good a prognosis as women diagnosed in earlier disease stages, significant improvements have been made. The introduction of new chemotherapy drugs in the last decade has resulted in longer survival times for these women.

The World Bank said on Monday, the biggest challenge in the global fight against AIDS is no longer money for drug research and treatment but the lack of local health services in nations worst-hit by the disease.
Libya commutes death sentences to life in prison for convicted AIDS workers
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.nature.com)
This article in Nature highlights the different kinds of scientific evidence that were presented -- and usually ignored -- in the case of the five Bulgarian nurses and one Palestinian doctor who were accused of infecting over four hundred Libyan children with HIV. Their sentences were commuted to life in prison and the nurses are to be extradited to Bulgaria.
The article takes the tack that the true problem in this case is Libya's refusal to give the evidence presented its due credibility and the country's attitude of "wider denial of AIDS
U.S.-brand AIDS hits rural Mexico

Mexican migrants -- a word that covers both legal and illegal immigrants -- are bringing HIV to those parts of Mexico least equipped to handle it. Such migrants often live lonely lives in the U.S., which may cause them to engage in higher-risk behavior. They are also more likely to be victims of violence. Many cross through parts of the borderlands that have become magnets for drug dealers and prostitutes.
One hospital reported that 22% of its new HIV infections could be traced to U.S. migrants. Like the wives of truckers in India, the wives of Mexican migrants are at particular risk
Libya resolves to execute Bulgarian AIDS workers
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.nytimes.com)
Today, the Libyan Supreme Court has upheld the death sentences of five Bulgarian nurses and one Palestinian doctor who were accused of deliberately infecting a number of Libyan children with HIV in 1998. They were tried, convicted, and lawfully sentenced to death. However, a 2003 investigation by leading AIDS experts indicates that the children's infections are due to unsanitary hospital conditions and not wrongdoing on the part of the doctor and nurses. The E.U. and U.S. have repeatedly appealed to Libya to free the six accused, but it is no use
We might not be doomed after all: drug-resistant HIV TKOed by TMC125
Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (sciam.com)
TMC125, also called etravirine, has managed to bring even drug-resistant strains of HIV down to undetectable levels in infected patients. It and two other drugs are expected to receive FDA approval this year. Now let's hope that we don't screw this up.
The findings, which were originally published in Lancet, might lift some of the weight off HIV patients who've stopped responding to other meds
