U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday that the U.S. would lift the ban in 2010, confirming the move as he signed the Ryan White HIV/Aids Treatment Extension Act into law. http://www.huliq.com/3257/88283/us-lift-hiv-entry-ban-2010-obama#comments Health AIDS HIV immigration Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:43:18 -0500 Michael Santo 88283 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/86922/some-cancers-more-common-among-hiv-patients Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that non-AIDS-defining malignancies such as anal and lung cancer have become more prevalent among HIV-infected patients than non-HIV patients since the introduction of anti-retroviral therapies in the mid-1990s. http://www.huliq.com/11/86922/some-cancers-more-common-among-hiv-patients#comments Health cancer HIV Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:41:53 -0500 harminka 86922 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/86415/how-hiv-cripples-immune-cells In order to be able to ward off disease pathogens, immune cells must be mobile and be able to establish contact with each other. The working group around Professor Dr. Oliver Fackler in the Virology Department of the Hygiene Institute of the Heidelberg University Hospital has discovered a mechanism in an animal model revealing how HIV, the AIDS pathogen, cripples immune cells: Cell mobility is inhibited by the HIV Nef protein. http://www.huliq.com/11/86415/how-hiv-cripples-immune-cells#comments Health AIDS HIV Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:22:16 -0500 harminka 86415 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/85616/homosexual-men-africa-have-higher-rates-hiv-infection New research from UCSF examining HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the township of Soweto in South Africa has found that a third of gay-identified men are infected with HIV. http://www.huliq.com/11/85616/homosexual-men-africa-have-higher-rates-hiv-infection#comments Health HIV HIV infection Homosexual Relationships Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:43:50 -0500 harminka 85616 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/85565/hiv-subtype-may-cause-dementia Patients infected with a particular subtype of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are more likely to develop dementia than patients with other subtypes, a study led by Johns Hopkins researchers shows. The finding, reported in the September Clinical Infectious Diseases, is the first to demonstrate that the specific type of HIV has any effect on cognitive impairment, one of the most common complications of uncontrolled HIV infection. http://www.huliq.com/11/85565/hiv-subtype-may-cause-dementia#comments Health dementia HIV Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:23:05 -0500 harminka 85565 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/3257/85258/call-safe-sex-adult-films-former-stars HIV / AIDS is a big worry in the adult film industry, as one might expect. Thursday, two former adult film actresses, Jan Meza (left in picture) and Shelley Lubben, spoke at a press conference Thursday in Los Angeles with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), an AIDS advocacy group, and The Pink Cross, a group that helps people exit the adult film industry, calling for condom use in all adult films. http://www.huliq.com/3257/85258/call-safe-sex-adult-films-former-stars#comments Health AIDS Films HIV Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:14:11 -0500 Michael Santo 85258 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/84939/study-highlights-primary-care-needs-those-living-hiv With HIV patients living longer thanks to advances in treatment, the primary care needs of those living with HIV have never been more important.

But a new study from an international team, including University of Minnesota professors Anne Pusey and Michael Wilson, shows that chimpanzees infected with SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus), the precursor to HIV-1, do contract and die from AIDS. The discovery is published in the July 23 issue of Nature. http://www.huliq.com/11/83896/aids-discovered-also-wild-chimpanzees#comments Science AIDS chimpanzees HIV Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:04:31 -0500 harminka 83896 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83837/hiv-testing-method-holds-promise-developing-countries A new technique that detects the HIV virus early and monitors its development without requiring refrigeration may make AIDS testing more accessible in sub-Saharan Africa. http://www.huliq.com/11/83837/hiv-testing-method-holds-promise-developing-countries#comments Health HIV HIV Testing HIV virus Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:54:48 -0500 harminka 83837 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83781/new-evidence-hiv-vaccine-failure A team of researchers from The Wistar Institute and the University of Pennsylvania reports new evidence refuting a popular hypothesis about the highly publicized failure in 2007 of the Merck STEP HIV vaccine study that cast doubt on the feasibility of HIV-1 vaccines.
