A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination. In ...

In modified intention-to-treat analysis, time to linkage to care significantly less for people with HIV in intervention group ...
In a recent study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, researchers investigated whether denser intrahost human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) populations had a higher incidence of coinfection ...
Without ART, people living with HIV can have a viral load of 30,000 to more than 500,000 copies/mL, depending on the stage of infection. While using lab-based plasma sample methods provides the most ...
A milliliter of blood contains about 15 individual drops. For a person with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), each drop of blood could contain anywhere from fewer than 20 copies of the virus to more ...
A federally funded clinical trial suggests knowing HIV viral load (number of HIV particles in the body) doesn’t improve the number of patients seeking treatment for active HIV infection or preventive ...
HIV rapid testing algorithms (RTAs) using any two orthogonal rapid tests (RTs) allow for on-site confirmation of infection. RTs vary in performance characteristics therefore the selection of RTs in an ...
A CD4+ count below 200 cells/μL, advanced age at antiretroviral therapy initiation, and protease inhibitor use were associated with low-level viremia and increased risk for virologic failure among ...
Evidence shows almost zero risk of sexual transmission when HIV viral loads are less than 1000 copies/mL, which could allow providers to destigmatize HIV and promote antiretroviral therapy adherence.
Most women living with HIV achieved an immunologic response after 2 years of initiating antiretroviral therapy. A higher baseline HIV viral load increased the odds of an immunologic response in women ...
