Verification of False Reactivity in HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Its Translation Into the Three Tests Algorithm in Cameroon

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Verification study enabled the detection of HIV false reactivity ranging from 0‐4% across rapid diagnostic tests. A reliable three‐tests algorithm ranked First Response HIV 1‐2‐0 Card, First Response HIV1+2/Syphilis Combo or STANDARD Q as suitable test 1 to mitigate false positive events. As countries move toward HIV elimination, implementing the three‐

[Thrombocytopenia in HIV-1 seropositive hemophiliacs].

[Rinsho ketsueki] The Japanese journal of clinical hematology, 1993
When platelet counts were compared in 1986 and 1992 in 117 anti-HIV antibody positive and negative hemophilia patients, a clear decrease was found in the positive group. In 1992 platelet counts < 150 x 10(9) were present in 23.5% of the positive group in contrast to 5.8% of the negative group. Comparing platelet counts with other clinical parameters, a

Clinical progress note: Mumps

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Mumps was a common childhood viral illness before the implementation of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination in 1967. There was a significant decrease in mumps cases in the postvaccine era; however, there has been an increase in outbreaks in the United States over the past two decades.

Bringing Gene Therapy Into Real World Clinical Practice

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adeno‐associated virus (AAV)‐based gene therapy for haemophilia has shifted therapeutic paradigms by enabling hepatic gene transfer, restoring endogenous clotting factor expression, and reducing reliance on conventional prophylactic treatments. Two products, valoctocogene roxaparvovec (haemophilia A) and etranacogene dezaparvovec (

Human herpesvirus 8 seropositivity among sexually active adults in Uganda.

PLoS ONE, 2011
IntroductionSexual transmission of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) has been implicated among homosexual men, but the evidence for sexual transmission among heterosexual individuals is controversial. We investigated the role of sexual transmission of HHV8 in a

A scoping review of the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of opt‐out blood‐borne virus (BBV) testing in secondary healthcare settings, in the UK and similar settings, using APEASE criteria

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Earlier diagnosis of blood‐borne viruses (BBVs)—HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV)—remains a significant public‐health focus. Opt‐out testing in secondary healthcare settings can improve early diagnosis and linkage to care as part of BBV transmission elimination targets.

HIV Risk Behavior and Beliefs of HIV-Seropositive Drug Users [PDF]

Journal of Drug Issues, 1992
To assess HIV risk behavior, beliefs, attitudes and intentions among HIV-seropositive drug users (DUs), we studied 122 HIV-positive DUs (including ninety-five current injectors) participating in a longitudinal HIV-study among DUs in Amsterdam. All were familiar with their serostatus. Over a period of four months, 20% of the sample put others at risk of

BLIMP‐1 and CD39 expression define human effector memory regulatory T cells in blood and recall responses to viruses

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
This study found that BLIMP‐1 is highly expressed in activated effector/memory human regulatory T cells, especially CD39+ Tregs, where it is associated with increased IL‐10 production and a conserved phenotype across blood and lung tissues during immune responses such as SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

Episodic memory rehabilitation for HIV‐associated neurocognitive disorders: A scoping review

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite extensive research on HIV‐associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), interest in cognitive rehabilitation has emerged only within the past 15 years. HAND are characterised by mild‐to‐moderate impairments in multiple cognitive domains: attention, episodic memory and executive functions.
