RNA interference approaches for treatment of HIV-1 infection. [PDF]
HIV/AIDS is a chronic and debilitating disease that cannot be cured with current antiretroviral drugs. While combinatorial antiretroviral therapy (cART) can potently suppress HIV-1 replication and delay the onset of AIDS, viral mutagenesis often leads to

Considerations for the Use of AAV‐based Gene Therapy in HIV‐Positive Individuals With Haemophilia
ABSTRACT Introduction There is a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among the haemophilia community due to treatment in the 1970s and 1980s with contaminated clotting factor. Lifelong treatment regimens for haemophilia and HIV are burdensome alone and pose a particular challenge for individuals living with both conditions ...

Drug resistance in B and non-B subtypes amongst subjects recently diagnosed as primary/recent or chronic HIV-infected over the period 2013–2016: Impact on susceptibility to first-line strategies including integrase strand-transfer inhibitors [PDF]
Objectives To characterize the prevalence of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs) by plasma analysis of 750 patients at the time of HIV diagnosis from January 1, 2013 to November 16, 2016 in the Veneto region (Italy), where all drugs included in

Abstract Objectives In Europe, most people with HIV‐1(PWH) achieve virologic suppression with effective and well‐tolerated antiretroviral therapies (ART). In this context, patient‐reported outcomes (PRO) are increasingly important for evaluating ART benefits.

Usefulness of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound stiffness for the evaluation of bone health in HIV-1-infected subjects: Comparison with dual X-ray absorptiometry [PDF]
Objectives: With the development of effective treatments and the resulting increase in life expectancy, bone mineral density (BMD) alteration has emerged as an important comorbidity in human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. The

Retroviral pseudotype-based virus neutralisation assays are widely used to estimate functional immunity, but may be unsuitable for testing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals receiving integrase inhibitor treatment. We evaluated these

The impact of accumulating immune adaptation in circulating strains of HIV‐1
Abstract Background Mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) enable the virus to evade recognition and killing by human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐restricted T cells. These viral adaptations are specific to the HLA type of individuals and are therefore evident as HLA allele‐HIV sequence associations at the population level. Most studies of

Elvitegravir: A New HIV Integrase Inhibitor [PDF]
Integration is a distinctive and essential process in the HIV infection cycle and thus represents an attractive antiviral drug target. Integrase inhibitors combined with other classes of drug might contribute to long-lasting suppression of HIV type-1 (HIV-1) replication for many patients.

Combinations of isoform-targeted histone deacetylase inhibitors and bryostatin analogues display remarkable potency to activate latent HIV without global T-cell activation [PDF]
Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV/AIDS slows disease progression by reducing viral loads and increasing CD4 counts. Yet ART is not curative due to the persistence of CD4+ T-cell proviral reservoirs that chronically resupply active virus ...

Integrase (IN) plays an essential role in HIV-1 replication, by mediating integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome. IN is a potential target of antiretroviral (ARV) therapeutic drugs such as ALLINI, Raltegravir (RAL), and Elvitegravir ...
