Antiretroviral Therapy

Almost three in five people infected with HIV, or 21.7 million globally, took antiretroviral therapy in 2017, a new record for anti-AIDS drug access, the UN's HIV/AIDS agency said Wednesday.

At least 21 people became infected with HIV in Unnao allegedly after a quack used a common syringe to administer injection, an official said on Monday.

Antiretroviral drugs have been life-changing therapies for HIV patients, but they can have significant side effects including neuronal degeneration, which can be manifested as forgetfulness, confusion and behavioural and motor changes, says a study.

More than 18 million people with HIV are currently taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) with a similar number still unable to access the life-saving treatment, the WHO has said, as it issued new guidelines on self-testing to improve access to HIV diagnosis.

Taking a three-drug antiretroviral therapy against HIV can prevent transmission of the virus from infected mothers to their infants during breastfeeding, a new clinical trial conducted in sub-Saharan Africa and India has found.

Antiretroviral therapy vastly lowers the risk of spreading HIV for couples in which one partner has the virus and the other does not, even when they have condomless sex, researchers said.

Starting antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients on the day they are diagnosed with the deadly virus may lead to better health outcomes and ensure a higher proportion of people undergo treatment, a new study has found.

The researchers found that the same-day initiation of antiretroviral therapy led to a higher proportion of people starting treatment and to better health outcomes.

Although a combination of antiretroviral therapies has led to a decrease in the mortality rates in people with HIV infection, a new study has found that these patients often show signs of premature ageing.

A new National Institutes of Health-funded study shows that HIV can still live and grow in the body even after disappearing from the blood following aggressive antiretroviral therapy.

Oregon researchers developing a vaccine that has shown promise in preventing HIV infection in primates said on Wednesday they have been awarded a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Two men with HIV have been off AIDS drugs for several months after receiving stem-cell transplants for cancer that appear to have cleared the virus from their bodies, researchers reported today.

Three more antiretroviral therapy (ART) centres for HIV patients would be set up soon at Burhanpur, Neemuch and Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh. A proposal to this effect has been approved in principle by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) recently, officials said on Monday.
