Natural selection favoring more transmissible HIV detected in United States molecular transmission network. [PDF]
HIV molecular epidemiology can identify clusters of individuals with elevated rates of HIV transmission. These variable transmission rates are primarily driven by host risk behavior; however, the effect of viral traits on variable transmission rates is ...

CD4 cell count and the risk of AIDS or death in HIV-Infected adults on combination antiretroviral therapy with a suppressed viral load: a longitudinal cohort study from COHERE. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Most adults infected with HIV achieve viral suppression within a year of starting combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). It is important to understand the risk of AIDS events or death for patients with a suppressed viral load.

Background: Although antiretroviral therapy is beneficial and available free of cost to patients, several roadblocks still prevent patients from reaching viral suppression.

Longitudinal sequencing of HIV-1 infected patients with low-level viremia for years while on ART shows no indications for genetic evolution of the virus [PDF]
HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) may present low-level viremia (LLV) above the detection level of current viral load assays.

Predicting virological decay in patients starting combination antiretroviral therapy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Model trajectories of viral load measurements from time of starting combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), and use the model to predict whether patients will achieve suppressed viral load (≤200 copies/ml) within 6-months of starting cART ...

Effects of storage and viral load on hepatitis C viral genotyping [PDF]
AbstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping is important for determining the treatment protocol for hepatitis C patients. Since amplified material from the Roche HCV Monitor kit is compatible with the Innogenetics INNO‐LiPA HCV II kit (line probe assay), amplicons from the Monitor assay can be used to identify the HCV genotype.

Single genome sequencing of near full-length HIV-1 RNA using a limiting dilution approach [PDF]
Sequencing very long stretches of the HIV-1 genome can advance studies on virus evolution and in vivo recombination but remains technically challenging.

Viral load could be an important determinant for fomites based transmission of viral infections
Background and Objective: Fomites are common sources of transmission of certain infections. Infectious pathogens, such as viruses known to cause respiratory tract infections, are common examples of being transmitted by fomites.
