Nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in bee venom can destroy human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while leaving surrounding cells unharmed, researchers atWashington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown. The finding is an important step toward developing a vaginal gel that may prevent the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
“Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel as a preventive [...]
Child’s mother was only diagnosed as HIV positive after going into labour
Baby was given extra-strong programme of medication to ‘blast’ the virus
This prevented the virus from taking hold in the baby’s cells
Two years after beginning treatment, tests show no virus in the child’s blood
Breakthrough hailed as ’major landmark’ in the battle to find cure
Doctors have made a landmark breakthrough in the treatment of HIV after they ‘cured’ a baby with the virus.
The [...]
More than half of the people diagnosed with the HIV virus in the U.S. aren’t getting treatment for their infection, the U.S government said today.
African-Americans and younger people are least likely to be receiving regular treatment, meaning that programs to keep them under a doctor’s care aren’t working or aren’t plentiful enough, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While 81% of those African Americans estimated [...]
One reason the human body cannot fight off an HIV infection is because a single protein the virus produces thwarts human defenses, a new study says.
When HIV enters the human body, it produces a protein called vpu that directly combats a critical defense protein of the human immune system, the study showed.
Normally, this immune system protein stops invading viruses from replicating and spreading throughout the body. But vpu disables this defense [...]
Is breast best for inhibiting HIV? An unknown component of breast milk kills HIV particles and virus-infected cells, as well as blocking HIV-transmission in mice with a human immune system.
Even if babies born to HIV-positive mothers avoid infection during birth, around 15 per cent contract HIV during early childhood. Since the virus can get into milk, breastfeeding was one possible suspect.
To investigate further, Angela Wahl at the University of North Carolina at [...]
Study has shown scientists how to find and measure ‘good cells’ that can recognise and kill infected cells, but they still do not know how to generate them
It has long been known that a tiny minority of people infected with HIV have a natural ability to fight off the deadly AIDS virus. Scientists said they are now a step closer to understanding why.
In a study they said holds promise for an [...]

In the rainforest of south-east Cameroon 80% of the meat eaten is “bushmeat”. The indigenous people consume a diet of gorilla, chimpanzee or monkey.
It is estimated that an excess of 30,000 gorillas are killed in Cameroon each year for their meat.
The habits of tribes like those in Cameroon are now being blamed for the transmission of viruses like the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is purported by mainstream scientists [...]

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is predicting an epidemic of hepatitis C (Hep-C) among baby boomers. So in order to preempt this epidemic, they have drafted a proposition to have everyone born between 1945 and 1965 tested for Hep-C in order to receive treatments and vaccinations (after diagnosis) with Hep-A and B vaccines.
That seems like a nasty proposition: two vaccinations that pretend to be designed for Hep-C. [...]
Seropositive volunteers participated in a new test led by scientists from the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp University Hospital and Antwerp University, involving a new therapeutic vaccine that uses cells extracted from their own body that are charged and reinjected. A better response from the immune system was observed on the tested patients.
A cure for AIDS has not been found yet, but thanks to modern medicine and the use [...]

Many have tried and failed to create a vaccine that could prevent infection with HIV. Now, Canadian researchers say they’re working on one that takes a different approach.
Researchers from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont. say they have developed an HIV vaccine that uses the whole HIV virus, unlike other attempts that have used [...]
People living with HIV/AIDS in China are routinely denied medical treatment in hospitals, a UN agency said Wednesday, in a sign of ongoing discrimination despite recent progress.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) uncovered HIV-related discrimination in China’s hospitals and clinics via interviews with more than 100 people living with HIV, and 23 hospital managers and healthcare workers.
One 37-year-old man living with HIV — the virus that causes AIDS — [...]

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) — A 45-year-old man now living in the Bay Area may be the first person ever cured of the deadly disease AIDS, the result of the discovery of an apparent HIV immunity gene.
Timothy Ray Brown tested positive for HIV back in 1995, but has now entered scientific journals as the first man in world history to have that HIV virus completely [...]
DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) – Hundreds of albinos are thought to have been killed for black magic purposes in Tanzania and albino girls are being raped because of a belief they offer a cure for AIDS, a Canadian rights group said on Thursday.
At least 63 albinos, including children, are known to have been killed, mostly in the remote northwest of the country.
“We believe there are hundreds and hundreds of killings [...]
