Researchers have identified new drug candidates that may be able to prevent HIV-infected cells from escaping detection by the immune system. A team from the Univerisity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the US made the discovery. Current therapy, called antiretroviral therapy, prevents HIV from multiplying which reduces the virus’ amount in the body to an undetectable level but it isn’t a cure. “We have excellent antiretroviral drugs that suppress HIV, but unfortunately, none of them clear the virus. 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...

Paris (AFP) - Forty years after the discovery of HIV, AFP looks at how far we have come in fighting a deadly virus that was once shrouded in fear and shame but is now treated as a manageable chronic condition. 1981: First alertIn June 1981, US epidemiologists report five cases of a rare form of pneumonia in gay men in California. It is the first alert about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), still unknown and unnamed. Doctors then identify "opportunistic infections" among intravenous drug users and in haemophiliacs and Haitian residents in the United States. The term AIDS appears for...

Washington (AFP) - Over-the-counter hearing aids will for the first time be available to tens of millions of Americans, officials said Tuesday, in an effort to cut prices from $5,000 a pair. "For many Americans who suffer from hearing loss, safe and effective and high quality hearing aids have been unaffordable," health secretary Xavier Becerra told reporters in a briefing. 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...

By Kaisar Andrabi Last month, 20-year-old Sunil* from Badarpur area of Delhi was unwell. Doctors at the nearby health centre ran some tests where Sunil tested positive for HIV/AIDS.

The shortage of the drug, vital for the treatment, has put at risk lives of many HIV patients in the country. Hol...

Washington (AFP) - Testing in humans of an HIV vaccine that uses messenger RNA technology has begun, the biotech firm Moderna and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative said Thursday. This Phase 1 trial is being carried out in the United States among 56 healthy adults who are HIV negative. Despite four decades of research, doctors have yet to develop a vaccine to protect people from the virus that causes AIDS, which kills hundreds of thousands of people around the world each year. But hopes have been stirred with the success of mRNA technology, which allowed for the development of Covid-19...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden marked World AIDS Day on Wednesday with a speech declaring that an end to the epidemic in the United States is within reach. "It's not hyperbole to suggest that we are within striking distance," he told an audience of activists and political supporters at the White House. Biden's speech outlined what the White House said was an administration plan for "redoubling efforts to confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic," bringing it effectively to a close by the end of the decade. The target is for a 75 percent reduction in new infections by 2025 and 90 percent by 2030....
