The Interplay of HIV and Autophagy in Early Infection
HIV/AIDS is still a global threat despite the notable efforts made by the scientific and health communities to understand viral infection, to design new drugs or to improve existing ones, as well as to develop advanced therapies and vaccine designs for ...

THE PERSISTENCE OF HIV-1 SPREADING IN MSM POPULATION IN CHINA
Summary: In this work, we develop and analyze mathematical models for the dynamics about the evolution of HIV/AIDS in men who have sex with men in China. We focus on the analyses of the basic reproduction number \(R_0\) and the persistence of infection.

Cellular Determinants of HIV Persistence on Antiretroviral Therapy
International audienceThe era of antiretroviral therapy has made HIV-1 infection a manageable chronic disease for those with access to treatment. Despite treatment, virus persists in tissue reservoirs seeded with long-lived infected cells that are ...

Persistence of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance mutations associated with fitness costs and viral genetic backgrounds [PDF]
Transmission of drug-resistant pathogens presents an almost-universal challenge for fighting infectious diseases. Transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRM) can persist in the absence of drugs for considerable time.

HIV-1 Proviral Transcription and Latency in the New Era
Three decades of extensive work in the HIV field have revealed key viral and host cell factors controlling proviral transcription. Various models of transcriptional regulation have emerged based on the collective information from in vitro assays and work

Modeling the Mechanisms by Which HIV-Associated Immunosuppression Influences HPV Persistence at the Oral Mucosa. [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients are at an increased risk of co-infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), and subsequent malignancies such as oral cancer. To determine the role of HIV-associated immune suppression on HPV persistence

Poly-l-lactic acid for HIV-1 facial lipoatrophy: 48-week follow-up [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Poly-l-lactic acid (PLA) injections modestly increase objectively assessed facial thickness but not facial soft tissue volume (FSTV) over 24 weeks. The durability of this response has not been well defined objectively.

Discontinuation of secondary prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients with HIV infection who have a response to antiretroviral therapy [PDF]
Background: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and a history of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia are at high risk for relapse if they are not given secondary prophylaxis. Whether secondary prophylaxis against P.

Frequent intra-subtype recombination among HIV-1 circulating in Tanzania. [PDF]
The study estimated the prevalence of HIV-1 intra-subtype recombinant variants among female bar and hotel workers in Tanzania. While intra-subtype recombination occurs in HIV-1, it is generally underestimated.
