Persistence of episomal HIV-1 infection intermediates in patients on highly active anti-retroviral therapy
Article Abstract:
Research presented concerns the suppression of HIV-1 replication in HIV-1 infected patients on a highly active anti-retroviral therapy. Findings suggest there is often viral persistence and replication in patients who have gone through anti-retroviral therapy, despite continued undetectable amounts of plasma viral RNA.

Tat's seductive side
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that the trancription activator of HIV, Tat, is involved in the viral gene expression and in addition, regulates the expression of chemokines in dendritic cells. Data suggest that Tat recruits susceptible host cells to infected dendritic cells, which leads to dissemination of HIV infection.

Renal dysfunction with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens is not observed more frequently
Article Abstract:
The overall incidence and risk of renal dysfunction in individuals receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) is investigated and compared with other antiretrovirals. The data reveals that tenofovir DF is not associated with renal dysfunction more frequently than other antiretroviral drugs, and the occurrence of renal dysfunction in this context is usually attributable to other causes.
