Happy New Year Treatment News December 29, 2009With Poor Adherence, PIs Might Have an Advantage Over NNRTIs Regimens containing a protease inhibitor (PI) might be less prone to drug resistance upon treatment failure than regimens containing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) in people with poorer adherence, according to a study published online December 16 in AIDS. December 28, 2009Vaccine Prevents SIV Disease Progression in Monkeys The results of a recent animal study suggests researchers may be one step closer to developing a vaccine to prevent or slow HIV disease progression in people who become infected with the virus, according to an article published December 11 in the journal Vaccine and reported by Science Daily. December 23, 2009Race, Age Disparities Among Those with Undiagnosed HIV A new analysis conducted by Campsmith, DDS, MPH, and his colleagues at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explores the estimated proportion of HIV-positive Americans who are undiagnosed across racial/ethnic populations and risk and age groups. Web Exclusive H1N1, Latent Reservoirs and ViiV: 2009 in Review The past year was an eventful one in HIV treatment. After nearly three decades since the discovery of the virus, not only are people with HIV surviving longer, many are even thriving on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment.Of course, the ARVs available aren’t perfect, and many people with drug-resistant HIV desperately need new options. There’s also lingering debate regarding when HIV treatment should be started, given the growing and potentially avoidable number of non-AIDS diseases among people still in the early stages of HIV disease. And as always, this question remains: What about a cure?The good news is that we continue to make progress. Here we reflect on the year’s top 10 treatment stories as a way to think about the accomplishments we’ve witnessed and the potential future they promise.Heard in the Blogs From ph's BlogEndemic Infections in Africa have everything to do with HIV/AIDSDespite a great deal of evidence for the interaction of multiple bacterial, viral, protozoal and helminthic infections with HIV, this association seems to have been relatively neglected as a target in the fight against HIV. Of course we do not need to justify efforts to improve the health of populations by attempting to prevent and treat highly prevalent endemic infectious diseases, but because of disease interactions, funds available to fight HIV could very appropriately be used to combat other infections as well. We can cure and prevent many of these endemic infections, quite often by means that are relatively inexpensive.To summarize, the health of hundreds of millions of individuals could be improved by efforts to prevent and treat these infections. These infections are also appropriate therapeutic targets in the fight against HIV/AIDS.Read more and post a comment...Heard in the Forums A lot of the hiv+ gay guys around me seem to screw without condoms. I just got a lecture from one who does not, warning me and the community at length about super-infection. I will see my specialist in two weeks - I think from a doctor we only get the legal and medical opinion - all the diseases you could still catch - the few cases of super-infection, etc. Has anyone in this forum ever got the nod from an HIV specialist that super-infection is not a risk (but other things certainly are, of course).
