A more accurate way to gauge the incidence of HIV infections in large populations has been developed by a research team at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute. This new tool will improve research and ...

With more people living with AIDS than ever before, a new rat model will benefit researchers studying the pathogenesis and the development of new drugs to treat AIDS and related diseases, according to ...

HIV is a human-specific pathogen that does not cause disease in other species, although it can replicate in chimpanzees. HIV cannot infect mice, rats, rabbits, or macaques. Previous HIV mouse models ...

Researchers in China have created what they claim is the most “detailed and realistic” model of HIV to date, and say that it could help in the creation of a vaccine for the deadly virus. However, ...

The Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Healthcare Transition (HCT) clinic — a pediatric-to-adult HIV care model — achieved a high 1-year retention rate but a suboptimal viral suppression rate despite ...

A team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Children's National Hospital has developed a unique pre-clinical model that enables the study of long-term HIV infection, and the testing of new ...

A new improved modeling system, developed by Chinese researchers, which attempts to incorporate more of the HIV virus' random behavioral dynamics, suggests that a particular type of T cell could be ...

Animal models are essential for testing antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection of humans and for acquiring the basic scientific knowledge that will ultimately be needed to develop a safe and ...

Due to the 4-hour maturation half-life of the Timer protein's blue-to-red chromophore, we can detect reactivated or recently silenced proviruses with high sensitivity using Timer fluorescence.

Transgender people are at higher-than-average risk of contracting HIV. And yet, when epidemiologist Diana Tordoff set out to analyze how transmission of the virus might change in the U.S. over the ...

Chimeric simian-human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs) allow researchers to study HIV vaccines in the rhesus monkey, a nonhuman primate whose immune system is closest to our own but in which HIV can’t ...
