Hiv Therapy

A man known as "the Duesseldorf patient" has become the third person declared cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant that also treated his leukaemia, a study said on Monday.

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.

Scientists have developed a new way to track HIV infection that can identify how individual particles infect each cell, and lead to novel therapies for prevention and treatment of the disease.

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.

Scientists have developed an effective treatment strategy against the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) in rhesus macaques, an advance that may lead to a new therapy for HIV infection in humans.

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.

HIV-positive individuals undergoing treatment are not likely to transmit the deadly virus to their partner, even if they engage in unprotected sex, a new study has found.

Nearly 600 injecting drug users visit the Tarn Taran civil hospital in Punjab every day for Opioid replacement therapy (ORT), a harm reduction strategy which helps clients keep off injecting drugs, reducing risk of blood borne diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B. The doses of crushed buprenorphine are supervised as clients could divert the tablets an...

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.
