Diagnostic procedures involving immunoglobulin reactions.
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
HIV Seronegativity
Immune status consisting of non-production of HIV antibodies, as determined by various serological tests.
Prevalence
The total number of cases of a given disease in a specified population at a designated time. It is differentiated from INCIDENCE, which refers to the number of new cases in the population at a given time.
Helicobacter pylori
A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
Helicobacter Infections
Infections with organisms of the genus HELICOBACTER, particularly, in humans, HELICOBACTER PYLORI.

Blood Donors
Hepatitis C
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally, and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
Neospora
A genus of protozoan parasites of the subclass COCCIDIA. Its species are parasitic in dogs, cattle, goats, and sheep, among others. N. caninum, a species that mainly infects dogs, is intracellular in neural and other cells of the body, multiplies by endodyogeny, has no parasitophorous vacuole, and has numerous rhoptries. It is known to cause lesions in many tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord as well as abortion in the expectant mother.
Case-Control Studies

Tuberculous meningitis in South African urban adults. (1/3131)

We retrospectively reviewed 56 adults with culture-proven tuberculous meningitis (TBM), investigating clinical signs, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings and outcome. There were 50 patients, aged 18-59 years, 39 with and 11 without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Six were aged 60 years or older. Neurological signs of TBM in 18-59-year-olds were unaffected by HIV serostatus while, compared to those > or = 60 years of age, there were more patients with meningism (86.0% vs. 33.3%; p = 0.011) and fewer with seizures (12.0% vs. 50.0%; p = 0.046). The HIV-infected 18-59-year-olds had significantly more extrameningeal tuberculosis compared to the non-HIV-infected (76.9% vs. 9.1%; p = 0.0001) and 23.1% had 'breakthrough' TBM. CSF analysis revealed 12 patients (21.4%) with acellular fluid (more common in those > or = 60 years of age, p = 0.016), of whom three had completely normal CSF. A neutrophil predominance was found in 22 patients (39.3%). Only three patients (5.4%) had a positive CSF smear for acid-fast bacilli. In-hospital mortality occurred in 39 patients (69.1%), was similar in all study groups, and was not related to neurological stage. The diagnosis of TBM can be masked by lack of meningism in the elderly and by atypical CSF findings.  (+info)

Coalescent estimates of HIV-1 generation time in vivo. (2/3131)

The generation time of HIV Type 1 (HIV-1) in vivo has previously been estimated using a mathematical model of viral dynamics and was found to be on the order of one to two days per generation. Here, we describe a new method based on coalescence theory that allows the estimate of generation times to be derived by using nucleotide sequence data and a reconstructed genealogy of sequences obtained over time. The method is applied to sequences obtained from a long-term nonprogressing individual at five sampling occasions. The estimate of viral generation time using the coalescent method is 1.2 days per generation and is close to that obtained by mathematical modeling (1.8 days per generation), thus strengthening confidence in estimates of a short viral generation time. Apart from the estimation of relevant parameters relating to viral dynamics, coalescent modeling also allows us to simulate the evolutionary behavior of samples of sequences obtained over time.  (+info)

Cytokine profile induced by Cryptosporidium antigen in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from immunocompetent and immunosuppressed persons with cryptosporidiosis. (3/3131)

The proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to a crude extract from Cryptosporidium parvum (CCE) was studied in persons who acquired cryptosporidiosis in the same outbreak (15 immunocompetent subjects with prior cryptosporidiosis and 22 human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]-positive persons with various levels of immunosuppression and active cryptosporidiosis) and in individual patients (8 HIV-positive patients with active cryptosporidiosis and 15 HIV-positive persons without history of cryptosporidiosis). PBMC from HIV-positive persons showed less proliferation to CCE and mitogens than did PBMC from immunocompetent subjects with prior cryptosporidiosis, independent of CD4 cell count. In immunocompetent subjects, cytokine gene expression was consistent with cytokine production, whereas in HIV-positive subjects it was not. The production of interferon-gamma in CCE-stimulated PBMC from both immunocompetent and HIV-positive subjects with cryptosporidiosis and the lack of interferon-gamma in CCE-stimulated PBMC from HIV-positive subjects without cryptosporidiosis indicate that C. parvum mainly induces a Th1 response.  (+info)

Cardiac autoimmunity in HIV related heart muscle disease. (4/3131)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of circulating cardiac specific autoantibodies in HIV positive patients with and without echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular dysfunction. SUBJECTS: 74 HIV positive patients including 28 with echocardiographic evidence of heart muscle disease, 52 HIV negative people at low risk of HIV infection, and 14 HIV negative drug users who had all undergone non-invasive cardiac assessment were studied along with a group of 200 healthy blood donors. RESULTS: Cardiac autoantibodies detected by indirect immunofluorescence (serum dilution 1/10) were more common in the HIV positive patients (15%), particularly the HIV heart muscle disease group (21%), than in HIV negative controls (3.5%) (both p < 0.001). By ELISA (dilution 1/320), abnormal anti-alpha myosin autoantibody concentrations were found more often in HIV patients with heart muscle disease (43%) than in HIV positive patients with normal hearts (19%) or in HIV negative controls (3%) (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). Anti-alpha myosin autoantibody concentrations were greater in HIV positive patients than in HIV negative controls, regardless of cardiac status ((mean SD) 0.253 (0.155) v 0.170 (0.076); p = 0.003). In particular the mean antibody concentration was higher in the HIV heart muscle disease patients (0.291 (0.160) v 0.170 (0.076); p = 0.001) than in HIV negative controls. On follow up, six subjects with normal echocardiograms but raised autoantibody concentrations had died after a median of 298 days, three with left ventricular abnormalities at necropsy. This compared with a median survival of 536 days for 21 HIV positive patients with normal cardiological and immunological results. CONCLUSIONS: There is an increased frequency of circulating cardiac specific autoantibodies in HIV positive individuals, particularly those with heart muscle disease. The data support a role for cardiac autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of HIV related heart muscle disease, and suggest that cardiac autoantibodies may be markers of the development of left ventricular dysfunction in HIV positive patients with normal hearts.  (+info)

Voluntary newborn HIV-1 antibody testing: a successful model program for the identification of HIV-1-seropositive infants. (5/3131)

Harlem Hospital in New York City has one of the highest HIV-1 newborn seroprevalence rates in the United States. We report the results of a program introduced in 1993 and designed to identify HIV-1-seropositive (HIV+) newborns at birth. All new mothers, independent of risk, received HIV counseling that emphasized the medical imperative to know the infant's HIV status as well as their own. Consent was obtained to test the infant; discarded cord blood samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and when positive, Western Blot confirmation. We compared the number of HIV+ infants identified through voluntary testing with the number reported by the anonymous New York State Newborn HIV Seroprevalence Study. In 1993, 97.8% (91 of 93) of the number of HIV+ infants identified by the anonymous testing were identified through voluntary maternal and newborn testing programs. Eighty-five HIV+ infants were identified before nursery discharge: 50% (42/85) through newborn testing; 14% (12/85) through prenatal testing; 13% (11/85) presented to care knowing their status; 23% (20/85) were known because of a previous HIV+ child. Six additional HIV+ children were diagnosed after hospital discharge (mean age, 5.5 months; range 1.5 through 17 months); four presented with symptomatic disease. The optimal time for identification of the HIV+ pregnant woman is before or during pregnancy, but when this does not occur, voluntary newborn testing can identify many HIV+ infants who would otherwise be discharged undiagnosed from the nursery.  (+info)

Comparison between a whole blood interferon-gamma release assay and tuberculin skin testing for the detection of tuberculosis infection among patients at risk for tuberculosis exposure. (6/3131)

A new test that measures interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) release in whole blood following stimulation with tuberculin has the potential to detect tuberculosis infection using a single blood draw. The IFN-gamma release assay was compared with the standard tuberculin skin test (TST) among 467 intravenous drug users at risk for tuberculosis in urban Baltimore. Among 300 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative patients, the IFN-gamma release assay was positive in 177 (59%), whereas the TST was positive in 71 (24%), for a percent agreement of 59% (kappa=26%). Among 167 HIV-seropositive subjects, the IFN-gamma release assay identified 32 reactors (19%); the TST identified 16 reactors (9.6%), for a percent agreement of 82% (kappa=28%). The IFN-gamma release assay detected more reactors than did the TST, but its agreement with TST was weak. As the TST is an imperfect standard, further evaluation of the IFN-gamma release assay among uninfected persons and persons with culture-confirmed tuberculosis will be useful.  (+info)

Reduced naive and increased activated CD4 and CD8 cells in healthy adult Ethiopians compared with their Dutch counterparts. (7/3131)

To assess possible differences in immune status, proportions and absolute numbers of subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were compared between HIV- healthy Ethiopians (n = 52) and HIV- Dutch (n = 60). Both proportions and absolute numbers of naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were found to be significantly reduced in HIV Ethiopians compared with HIV- Dutch subjects. Also, both proportions and absolute numbers of the effector CD8+ T cell population as well as the CD4+CD45RA-CD27- and CD8+CD45RA-CD27- T cell populations were increased in Ethiopians. Finally, both proportions and absolute numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing CD28 were significantly reduced in Ethiopians versus Dutch. In addition, the possible association between the described subsets and HIV status was studied by comparing the above 52 HIV- individuals with 32 HIV+ Ethiopians with CD4 counts > 200/microliter and/or no AIDS-defining conditions and 39 HIV+ Ethiopians with CD4 counts < 200/microliter or with AIDS-defining conditions. There was a gradual increase of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, a decrease of CD8+ T cells expressing CD28 and a decrease of effector CD8+ T cells when moving from HIV- to AIDS. Furthermore, a decrease of naive CD8+ T cells and an increase of memory CD8+ T cells in AIDS patients were observed. These results suggest a generally and persistently activated immune system in HIV- Ethiopians. The potential consequences of this are discussed, in relation to HIV infection.  (+info)

Tissue specific HPV expression and downregulation of local immune responses in condylomas from HIV seropositive individuals. (8/3131)

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of tissue specific human papillomavirus (HPV) expression and its effect on local immunity in condylomas from HIV positive individuals. METHODS: Biopsy specimens of eight penile and eight perianal condylomas from HIV seropositive individuals were analysed. Expression of viral genes (HIV-tat and HPV E7 and L1) was determined by RT-PCR. The status of local immunity also was determined by RT-PCR by measuring CD4, CD8, CD16, CD1a, HLA-DR, and HLA-B7 mRNA levels in the tissues. Differentiation was determined by measuring involucrin, keratinocyte transglutaminase, as well as cytokeratins 10, 16, and 17. Proliferation markers such as PCNA and c-myc were also determined. RESULTS: The transcription pattern of HPV in perianal condylomas, which preferentially expressed the early (E7) gene, was different from that of penile condylomas, which primarily expressed the late (L1) gene. This transcription pattern is in good correlation with the keratinisation and differentiation patterns of the two epithelia: perianal biopsies preferentially expressed K16 and K17 while penile warts mainly expressed K10, markers of parakeratotic and orthokeratotic epithelia, respectively. Perianal biopsies also showed a higher degree of proliferation (PCNA and c-myc). Interestingly, transcription of HIV-tat was also higher in perianal than in penile biopsies. A high degree of local immunodeficiency was observed in perianal biopsies--that is, levels of CD4, CD16, and CD1a mRNAs were significantly lower. A negative correlation between CD1a (Langerhans cells) levels and HPV E7 levels was established. HPV E7 levels positively correlated with HIV-tat levels. Perianal tissues demonstrated more CD1a depression and tat associated HPV upregulation. CONCLUSION: HIV influences the expression of HPV genes resulting in local immunosuppression that might lead to an inappropriate immune surveillance of viral infection. Also, tissue type is an important factor in controlling viral transcription in a differentiation dependent manner. These findings may explain the higher rate of dysplasia and neoplasia in the perianal area.  (+info)

Although the interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) has become a widely accepted means for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), the role of the IGRA in diagnosing active tuberculosis (ATB) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive individuals remains controversial. Previous analyses did not set up rational inclusive criteria for screening articles with strict control groups and a gold standard for ATB diagnosis. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of the latest evidence to evaluate the accuracy of IGRA for HIV-seropositive patients. Initially, we searched the EMBASE, Cochrane and MEDLINE databases to find research articles published from January 2000 to October 2015 that used the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay (QFT-IT) or the T-SPOT.TB assay (T-SPOT) to diagnose ATB among HIV-seropositive individuals. We separately calculated the pooled sensitivity, specificity, and proportion of indeterminate events and then summarized the results using forest plots to estimate the

Background Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV) is a major source of concern in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), a small archipelago of islands in the Caribbean region. Since transmission is predominantly through sexual contact, it is important to understand the dynamics of sexual relationships in this country, including the likelihood of HIV seropositivity disclosure. Knowledge about ones partners seropositivity can guide both the sexual behaviour and HIV testing decision-making processes. The objective of the study was thus to examine factors associated with willingness to disclose HIV status in a general TCI sample, including self-reported discrimination towards HIV positive persons, which has rarely been examined in relation to disclosure. ...

Age as a determinant of survival in HIV infection. - Experimental Medicine Division
Age is a major determinant of mortality for many diseases including HIV infection, yet the effect of age is rarely studied directly. In this article, we review what is known about the effect of age at seroconversion on HIV disease progression and survival prior to the widespread use of HAART before describing appropriate methods for adjusting for background mortality in more detail. We then investigate the impact of HAART on the effect of age at seroconversion on mortality and consider the estimation of the age effect in seroprevalent cohorts with regard to lack of knowledge of the true age at infection. Finally, we discuss mechanisms by which age at seroconversion might impact on disease progression and death. Throughout, we use published results by the Collaborative Group on AIDS Incubation and HIV Survival (CGAIHS), and published results and data from the Concerted Action on SeroConversion to AIDS and Death in Europe (CASCADE) for illustration.

The widespread availability of potent HIV treatment (ART) in Canada and other high-income countries has had a tremendous impact on the health of HIV-positive people. Scientists predict that many ART users will have a near-normal life expectancy.. As HIV-positive ART users approach and enter their senior years, issues that are related to aging have become more important. Health issues such as persistently elevated levels of bad cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar, increased weight and thinning bones are becoming the focus of routine care appointments in this population. If left untreated, these issues can contribute to disability and premature death.. A team of scientists in the United States has been studying frailty-a syndrome of age-related conditions that they say leads to physical weakness and functional decline. Among HIV-negative people, frailty becomes more common after age 65.. The scientists have been monitoring the health of 1,016 HIV-positive people for an average of four ...

Introduction | CATIE - Canadas source for HIV and hepatitis C informationIntroduction | CATIE - Canadas source for HIV and hepatitis C information
The widespread availability of potent anti-HIV therapy, commonly called ART or HAART, has led to tremendous increases in life expectancy of HIV-positive people, particularly in high-income countries such as Canada. Despite this good news, some HIV-positive people may face other long-term problems as they age, including liver and kidney damage arising from co-infection with hepatitis B and C viruses, diabetes and higher-than-normal blood pressure.. In the time before HAART, organ transplants were attempted in HIV-positive people. In general, HIV-positive people who received transplants in the pre-HAART era appeared to have shortened survival. In the present era, doctors in the United States and Western Europe have gained experience conducting successful liver and kidney transplants in HIV-positive people.. In Canada, until recently, HIV-positive people were routinely excluded from even the possibility of receiving a transplanted organ. However, in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, ...

Based on mean CD4+ T cell count per individual the participants were subgrouped as immunocompetent (mean ≥500/μl) or immunodeficient (mean ,500/μl). Median seroconversion age was found to be lower in the immunocompetent group compared to the immunodeficient group (28 vs 38 years, respectively, p=0.014). Broad and potent NAb response arose in all HIV-2 infected participants against 5 HIV-2 isolates during the first year of infection. Furthermore, the NAb titers tended to increase 10-100 times during the follow-up period. NAb response at the end of the follow-up period was significantly broader and more potent in the immunocompetent group (breadth 4.3 vs 2.9, p=0.01 and potency 200000 vs 30000, p=0.04, respectively). Univariate correlation analyses revealed that age at seroconversion, duration of infection and CD4+ T cell count modulate breadth and potency of NAb response.. Discussion ...

Through the sharing of these stories, we are getting more tolerant of HIV-positive persons. However globally, HIV stigma is still a pandemic in and of itself adding onto the difficulty of living with the illness for an infected person and his/her family members. Isnt it amazing how we can be friends for years with a person or love him/her as a family member until we find out he/she is HIV-positive? As soon as we find out, we start treating him/her differently, but really what has changed? Isnt he/she still the same person we loved and cared about until the word HIV-positive was associated with him/her?. As part of commemorating Zero Discrimination Day, I dare ask, do we have a right to judge anyone because he/she is HIV-positive? Do we really know how it is to live a day as a HIV-positive person? What makes us so intolerant and insensitive that we can openly (or behind his/her back) mock a sick person because of his/her illness? Surely we were not there when he/she became infected to know how ...

In the past, in vitro testing of antifungal agents has been regarded as problematic, but standardized methods have now been developed for Candida spp. and C. neoformans(9). For these methods to be useful, the results should provide a reliable prediction of the response to treatment for humans with infections. In particular, a high MIC should often correlate with therapeutic failure (15). Numerous reports have demonstrated that the ability to predict clinical outcome differs from agent to agent and depends on the patient population studied (5). For instance, high MICs of fluconazole are often predictive of therapeutic failure in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients with oral candidiasis (12, 16, 17) but do not correlate with the clinical outcome in patients with candidemia (14). The situation with other antifungal agents is even less clear, but a number of investigations have reported that for the amphotericin B MICs for isolates of Candida spp. recovered during prolonged treatment with ...

Anal Sexually Transmitted Infections and Risk of HIV Infection in Homosexual MenAnal Sexually Transmitted Infections and Risk of HIV Infection in Homosexual Men
BACKGROUND: We examined a range of common bacterial and viral sexually transmitted infections as risk factors for HIV seroconversion in a community-based cohort of HIV-negative homosexual men in Sydney, Australia. METHODS: Detailed information about HIV risk behaviors was collected by interview twice yearly. Participants were tested annually for HIV, anal and urethral gonorrhea and chlamydia, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and syphilis. In addition, they reported annual diagnoses of these conditions and of genital and anal warts. RESULTS: Among 1427 enrolled participants, 53 HIV seroconverters were identified, giving an incidence of 0.78 per 100 person-years. After controlling for number of episodes of insertive and receptive nonseroconcordant unprotected anal intercourse, there were independent associations with anal gonorrhea (adjusted hazard ratio = 7.12, 95% confidence interval: 2.05 to 24.79) and anal warts (hazard ratio = 3.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.62 to 8.14).

Fact: A small percentage of people infected with HIV do live for many years without developing AIDS. They are often known as long-term non-progressors. But such individuals are rare: without proper medical care, including antiretroviral drugs when needed, most HIV-positive people will eventually develop AIDS.

There is evidence that some groups of Australian and American gay men are considering HIV-positive partners undetectable viral load and the time elapsed since an HIV-negative partner last tested when making decisions about using condoms, according to studies presented to the Eighth International AIDS Society Conference (IAS 2015) in Vancouver, Canada, on Tuesday.. Sero-sorting refers to the practice of people choosing sexual partners they perceive to have the same HIV status as themselves, or of choosing not to use condoms with such partners. But it is clear that the scenarios are not necessarily as simple as HIV-negative people pairing up with other HIV-negative people, or of HIV-positive people sticking with HIV-positive people.. Gay men may decide which partner takes the receptive (bottom) role dependent on each mans HIV status. An HIV-negative person may consider that having condomless sex with an HIV-positive person who has an undetectable viral load is safer than doing so with ...

Sexual functioning among HIV-infected women by Carol A. Bova and Amanda J. DuranteSexual functioning among HIV-infected women by Carol A. Bova and Amanda J. Durante
The influence of HIV on sexual activity and functioning presents a unique set of issues. HIV transmissibility, partner disclosure, potential vertical transmission and, for some HIV-infected women, problems associated with illicit drug use, may affect sexuality. Few studies have examined HIV-infected womens sexuality and none have studied the relationship between HIV symptoms, HIV illness stage, quality of life, meaning of illness and sexual functioning. This descriptive study examines sexual activity, sexual functioning and safer sex behavior among 101 HIV-seropositive women. Results indicate that (1) the majority of women continue to be sexually active after testing HIV positive, (2) sexual functioning does not change as a result of HIV disease progression, and (3) few women report that HIV itself caused worsening of their sexual functioning. Those women with better mental health, more positive meaning attributed to life with HIV infection, better quality of life, fewer HIV-related symptoms and who

Dating someone whos HIV-positiveDating someone whos HIV-positive
Dear Reader,. There is no way for a sexually active person to be 100 percent certain that s/he is protected from HIV infection or any other sexually transmitted infection (STI). However, there are many ways to significantly reduce risk of transmission, even for an uninfected person in a sexually active relationship with someone who is HIV-positive.. Many studies have been conducted on serodiscordant couples, meaning that one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative. Growing evidence suggests that as HIV medicines become more efficacious, HIV-positive individuals taking antiretroviral medications are significantly less likely to transmit the virus to a sexual partner than someone not taking medication. In fact, in a study of almost 3,000 monogamous serodiscordant couples, it was found that with the use of antiretroviral therapy, only 3.4 percent of sexually active couples would transmit HIV from the infected to uninfected partner over a period of 100 years. Risk is reduced even ...

With regard to postulate #1, numerous studies from around the world show that virtually all AIDS patients are HIV-seropositive; that is they carry antibodies that indicate HIV infection. With regard to postulate #2, modern culture techniques have allowed the isolation of HIV in virtually all AIDS patients, as well as in almost all HIV-seropositive individuals with both early- and late-stage disease. In addition, the polymerase chain (PCR) and other sophisticated molecular techniques have enabled researchers to document the presence of HIV genes in virtually all patients with AIDS, as well as in individuals in earlier stages of HIV disease.. Postulate #3 has been fulfilled in tragic incidents involving three laboratory workers with no other risk factors who have developed AIDS or severe immunosuppression after accidental exposure to concentrated, cloned HIV in the laboratory. In all three cases, HIV was isolated from the infected individual, sequenced and shown to be the infecting strain of ...

But both groups of HIV-positive children lagged behind HIV-negative children in these areas, suggesting that the first year of life may present a critical treatment window for minimizing impairments in brain development due to HIV.. Especially in children, we must always weigh the benefits of early treatment for HIV infection against the risks, which can range from long-term toxicity or drug resistance to scarcity of the supply of medications in regions with limited health care resources, noted Thomas R. Insel, M.D., director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of NIH. Knowing the parameters of appropriate care can assist providers in making difficult treatment decisions for this vulnerable population..

BACKGROUND: The HIV surveillance system in Germany is based on mandatory, anonymous notification of newly diagnosed HIV cases by laboratories. Because the time between HIV infection and the diagnosis of HIV varies widely between persons, it is difficult to determine the number of cases of recent HIV infection among newly diagnosed cases of HIV. In Germany, the BED-capture-enzyme immunoassay (BED-CEIA) has been used to distinguish between recent and long-standing HIV infection. The aim of this analysis is to report the proportion of cases of recent HIV infection among newly diagnosed cases in Germany between 2008 and 2014 and to identify factors associated with recent infections ...

Estimating the Lifetime Risk of a Diagnosis of HIV Infection in the United StatesEstimating the Lifetime Risk of a Diagnosis of HIV Infection in the United States
Estimates of lifetime risk can be used to compare the burden of disease across populations. This method is frequently used to describe cancer risk, but has infrequently been used for HIV infection. We estimated the lifetime risk of an HIV diagnosis for sex, age, and racial/ethnic subgroups as well as by state.. HIV diagnosis, mortality, and census population data were used to derive lifetime and age-conditional risk estimates of being diagnosed with HIV. Data on HIV diagnoses (adjusted for reporting delays) were obtained from the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS). The numbers of HIV diagnoses (NHSS) and non-HIV deaths (mortality data) between 2009 and 2013 were used to calculate probabilities of a diagnosis of HIV at a given age, conditional on never having developed HIV prior to that age using a competing risks method. The lifetime risk estimate is the cumulative probability of being diagnosed with HIV from birth. Age-conditional risk measures were the probabilities of an individual of a ...

A total of 13 studies reported on HIV transmission and biting. The studies consisted of eleven case reports and two case series relating to HIV transmission, or its absence, after a biting incident.. None of the possible cases of HIV transmission due to biting were in the UK or involved emergency workers. The reports included information on 23 individuals, of whom nine (39%) seroconverted for HIV. Six of these cases involved family members, three involved fights resulting in serious wounds, and two were the result of untrained first-aiders placing fingers in the mouth of an individual experiencing a seizure.. Of the 742 records reviewed, there was no published cases of HIV transmission attributable to spitting, which supports the conclusion that being spat on by an HIV-positive individual carries no possibility of transmitting HIV, write the authors. Despite biting incidents being commonly reported occurrences, there were only a handful of case reports of HIV transmission secondary to a bite, ...

PDR Drug Update - September 2020PDR Drug Update - September 2020
Due to the availability of better antiviral treatments, most people with HIV do not progress to AIDS. If untreated, it usually takes eight to ten years for HIV to advance to AIDS. At that point, the immune system is significantly damaged, and individuals are more likely to develop opportunistic infections or cancers. HIV medications can still help during this stage of the infection, though there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS. Once an individual is infected by it, the body is unable to rid itself of the virus. However, there are medications called antiretroviral therapies (ART) that reduce the amount of HIV (viral load) in the body. Having less HIV in the body helps protect the immune system, and it helps prevent HIV infection from advancing to AIDS. ART also reduces the risk of HIV transmission to others. It is recommended that every HIV positive individual take ART and should start as soon as possible. It is generally recommended for the initial regimen to include at least three HIV ...

Do you know your status? The CDC estimates that 1 in 8 HIV+ individuals are unaware of their status. An HIV positive individual can sometimes be infected for as long 10 years without experiencing any symptoms. However, the virus remains contagious. Sexually active people can still transmit the disease to their partners even if they have no symptoms. Testing is the only way to know your status ...

Initial immune response to HIV infection is much greater than previously thought | Victor Daitz Information GatewayInitial immune response to HIV infection is much greater than previously thought | Victor Daitz Information Gateway
Leading international peer-reviewed medical journal, Immunity, has published the findings of ground-breaking research led by Honorary Senior Lecturer at UKZNs HIV Pathogenesis Programme (HPP), Dr Zaza Ndhlovu.. We wanted to understand how the body defends itself during the first stage of HIV disease called acute HIV infection. We also wanted to understand why the immune system, which seems to initially control the virus, fails to completely eliminate it resulting in progressive HIV disease, Ndhlovu said.. The two-year study titled: Magnitude and Kinetics of CD8+ T Cell Activation during Hyperacute HIV Infection Impacts Viral Set Point, was conducted in Umlazi, Durban, where Ndhlovus team discovered that despite HIV being characterised as an immune suppressive disease, the initial immune response to HIV infection was much larger than previously appreciated..

Less than 40% of adults in the USA have ever tested for HIV | AvertLess than 40% of adults in the USA have ever tested for HIV | Avert
Just 38.9% of people living in the United States of America (US) have ever tested for HIV reports the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a study published on National HIV Testing Day last week (27 June).. In a new analysis of HIV testing rates in the US published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC also reports marginally higher testing rates in the 50 local jurisdictions where most of the countrys HIV diagnoses originate, with around 46.9% of people ever reporting testing for HIV. But in the seven US states with substantial rural HIV burden, just 35.5% of the population have ever tested for HIV. The findings provide critical baseline data for the new Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, which was launched earlier in 2019 and aims to reduce new HIV infections in the country by 75% by 2025 and by 90% by 2030 by directing new funds and expertise to communities most affected.. The first phase of the initiative is geographically focussed on the areas with the ...
