Treatment of HIV/AIDS
Article Abstract:
Physicians treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients are always faced with complex challenges while treating patients but thanks to research papers being published in various medical journals they have an idea of advances made in the cure to the disease. Government agencies must also ensure that research findings are well published or more funding is provided for areas that are neglected and all institutions must ensure translation of research papers published in other languages.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy and sexual risk behavior
Article Abstract:
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was made available to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients in the US along with the rest of the developed world in 1996 and it has shown reduced HIV-RNA levels in many of these patients. Studies have shown that HIV-positive patients receiving HAART do not display increased sexual behavior even after therapy has shown decrease in viral load.

Temporal trends in early clinical manifestations of perinatal HIV infection in a population-based cohort
Article Abstract:
An examination of early disease progression and survival in a population-based cohort with perinatal HIV infection in relation to year of birth and use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is presented. The results led to the conclusion that the population-based cohort demonstrated decreased early HIV progression and improved survival at age 3 years, associated with more advanced theory.
