Pretreatment factors associated with 3-year (144-week) virologic and immunologic responses to potent antiretroviral therapy

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted among 1083 patients who had plasma HIV RNA (vRNA) levels and CD4 cell counts at baseline to examine pretreatment factors associated with longer term (144 weeks) responses to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The influence of pretreatment factors on increases in CD4 cell counts differed between men and women and older age was the most important baseline predictor of a vRNA level <50 copies/mL at week 144.

Assessing the attitudes, knowledge, and awareness of HIV vaccine research among adults in the United States

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to assess HIV vaccine research attitudes, awareness and knowledge among adults in the general US population, African Americans, Hispanics, and men who have sex with men (MSM). It showed that HIV vaccine research vary by population and issues like attitude, knowledge, and awareness must be addressed to ensure an adequate number of volunteers for future domestic HIV preventive vaccine clinical trails.
