Hiv Resistance

A women suffering from leukaemia is the US is reported to be the first woman and third patient in the world to have been cured of HIV after stem cell transplant.

A US patient with leukemia has become the first woman and the third person to date to be cured of HIV after receiving a bone marrow transplant from a donor who was naturally resistant to the virus that causes AIDS, researchers reported on Tuesday.

A rare genetic mutation that causes a form of muscular dystrophy affecting the limbs also protects against HIV infection, Spanish scientists reported Thursday.

An HIV-positive man in Britain has become the second known adult worldwide to be cleared of the AIDS virus after he received a bone marrow transplant from an HIV resistant donor, his doctors said.

Twin girls whose DNA was altered as part of a controversial effort in China to make them resistant to HIV infection could still contract the virus that causes AIDS.

New Delhi: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said antibiotic resistance is making gonorrhoea, a sexually-transmitted disease, “much harder and sometimes impossible” to treat, as it cited data from 77 countries including India. The global health body said every year, an estimated 35.2 million people were infected by the disease in the WHO...

In a path-breaking experiment, scientists at theThe Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in the United States have discovered a way to make cells resistant to the HIV virus.

London: Patients whose human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains developed a resistance to older generation drugs are also resistant to modern drugs, a new study led by an Indian-origin scientist has found. Resistance to a drug typically occurs when patients doesn’t take their medication regularly enough, and for first-line treatments to work, ...

Mutating HIV with the gene-editing platform CRISPR/Cas9 may inhibit viral replication, but it can also lead to the creation of viruses that are resistant to gene editing and more difficult to target, scientists say.

The virus-suppressing action did not appear to last, however, and some patients developed resistance to the agent.

The rapid evolution of HIV, which has allowed the virus to develop resistance to patients' immunity, is at the same time slowing the virus's ability to cause AIDS, according to a new research.

Deadly strains of tuberculosis (TB) resistant to multiple drugs are spreading around the world, and authorities urgently need another $1.6 billion a year to tackle them, global health officials said on Monday.
