ARV adherence and lower health care costs
High antiretroviral therapy adherence, which has been shown to be a major predictor of HIV disease progression and survival, is now associated with lower health care costs.
Why circumcised men are less at risk for HIV
Circumcision, which substantially lowers HIV risk in men, also dramatically changes the bacterial communities of the penis, according to a study led by scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute.
Disproportionate effects of global warming and pollution on disadvantaged communities
Global warming, pollution, and the environmental consequences of energy production impose a greater burden on low-income, disadvantaged communities, and strategies to prevent these inequities are urgently needed.
New tool in the fight against mosquito-borne disease

Progress toward AIDS vaccine
Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University are one step closer to developing a vaccine against the AIDS disease.
Routine HIV screening boosts testing
UCSF researchers have found that routinely offering rapid HIV tests to patients in community health centers can significantly increase the number of patients screened for HIV.
New Insight into Selective Binding Properties of Infectious HIV
U.S. Military HIV Research Program researchers have demonstrated that essentially all of the infectious virus particles can bind to the surface of red blood cells isolated from each of 30 normal (non-infected) human donors.
Tailor-made HIV/AIDS treatment closer to reality
An innovative treatment for HIV patients developed by McGill University Health Centre researchers has passed its first clinical trial with flying colours.
