The Internet is serving as a fertile medium for "HIV denialists" to spread false ideas about HIV/AIDS, which could have terrible public health consequences, say scientists in a policy paper in PLoS Medicine.

New evidence reported in the August issue of Cell Stem Cell, a publication of Cell Press, offers a novel perspective on how the HIV/AIDS virus leads to learning and memory deficits, a condition known as HIV-associated dementia.

A prominent problem in AIDS is a form of dementia that robs one’s ability to concentrate and perform normal movements. Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered how HIV/AIDS disrupts the normal replication of stem cells in the adult brain, preventing new nerve cells from forming.

A study of the reproductive apparatus of a model virus is bolstering the idea that broad classes of viruses - including those that cause important human diseases such as AIDS, SARS and hepatitis C - have features in common that could eventually make them vulnerable to broad-spectrum antiviral agents.

South African President Thabo Mbeki has axed his deputy health minister who questioned the national AIDS policy, a move experts warned could have a "deadly" impact in the HIV-blighted nation.

Few older women were interested in being tested for the virus that causes AIDS despite having significant risk factors for lifetime exposure, according to a study published in the July/August edition of the Journal of Women’s Health. The risk is especially great among African-American women, who represent 73 percent of new HIV cases in women over age 50.

Researchers have determined how people can catch HIV that causes AIDS though oral sex with infected partners. As it turned out, there may be no injuries inside of the mouth but a partner may still catch the virus while having oral sex. After twenty five years of an extensive research American doctors have determined that humans have a molecule that comes in contact with the virus.

Several Indian states have suspended a sex education program designed for school students by a government body fighting to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. The program has stirred an emotional dispute, between those who say it will reduce the spread of HIV by promoting safer sex, and those who say it will ruin Indian culture by corrupting young minds.

A new UC Irvine study sheds light on how HIV develops into AIDS and suggests a possible way to block the deadly transformation.

International trials reveal that male circumcision reduces the spread of HIV/AIDS by 60 per cent. Circumcision has been practiced for thousands of years. About 30 per cent of men worldwide have had the procedure.

Discrimination and lack of medical support have led to alarming rise of new HIV infections among men who have sex with men in developing countries, a leading American AIDS research group said Tuesday.
