Researchers have identified new drug candidates that may be able to prevent HIV-infected cells from escaping detection by the immune system.

If someone with HIV stops taking their medication, the infection will rebound,” Thomas Smith...

Die Transplantation spezieller Stammzellen hat einen weiteren Patienten wahrscheinlich sowohl von Leukämie als auch von seiner HIV-Infektion geheilt. Es sei der älteste Mensch bisher, bei dem dies gelungen sei, teilte die Krebsklinik City of Hope in Duarte (Kalifornien) mit. Der mittlerweile 68-jährige Paul Edmonds aus Desert Springs sei der fünfte Mensch weltweit, bei dem eine kombinierte Therapie sowohl den Blutkrebs als auch das Virus zurückdrängte. Wenn HI-Viren in den Körper gelangen, infizieren sie Körperzellen. Der 68-Jährige hatte eine Blutstammzell-Transplantation von einem Spender mi...

Shortages in Germany of a drug used by tens of thousands of people in the country to protect against HIV infections caused by supply chain issues are causing growing concern.

The action, which should take effect in October, would reduce the cost of hearing aids by an estimated $2,800 per pair, by removing the requirement to see a doctor or audiologist, added Brian Deese, director of the White Ho...
