A single HIV protein acts as a molecular traffic signal to regulate crucial steps in the virus life cycle, a new study has found. The discovery of these previously unrecognized stop-and-go functions provides new targets for creating molecular gridlock and halting virus growth. A research team led by Michael R. Green, M

Two studies supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide compelling evidence that the amount of HIV in a pregnant woman s blood, known as the maternal HIV viral load, is the prime risk factor for transmitting the virus to her baby. Women who had high levels of HIV in their blood -- whether they received

A joint Uganda-U.S. study has found a highly effective and safe drug regimen for preventing transmission of HIV from an infected mother to her newborn that is more affordable and practical than any other examined to date. Interim results from the study, sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Dise

Preliminary analysis of data from a clinical trial testing two candidate HIV vaccines given together shows that the combination is safe and can stimulate diverse immune responses against HIV. The findings will be discussed by the study s principal investigator, Robert Belshe, M.D., of Saint Louis University, on Tuesday

Today scientists reported that they have discovered the origin of HIV-1, the virus responsible for the global AIDS pandemic. A subspecies of chimpanzees native to west equatorial Africa has been identified as the original source of the virus. Beatrice H. Hahn, M.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a grantee
