All but one
participant treated with a co-formulation of sofosbuvir and ledipasvir (Harvoni) achieved sustained virological
response at 12 weeks post-treatment in a study looking at traditionally hard-to-treat
HIV/HCV coinfected patients, researchers reported Sunday at the American Association for the Study
of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Liver Meeting in Boston.

People who achieve
sustained virological response (SVR) when treated with interferon-based therapy
for hepatitis C have a lower risk of death, are less likely to develop liver
cancer and need fewer liver transplants than those who were treated but not cured,
according to results from a meta-analysis of more than 34,000 patients
presented Sunday at

Darunavir/ritonavir monotherapy results in a lower rate of
viral suppression after 48 weeks when compared to darunavir/ritonavir plus two
nucleoside analogues, but may be just as effective as three-drug therapy in
people with nadir CD4 cell counts above 200, according to a 48-week analysis of
the PROTEA study presented on Thursday at the International

are men, according to an analysis of data from approximately half of American

Il virus Hiv ancora ‘bambino’, immaturo e incapace di infettare, è stato fotografato per la prima volta in alta definizione dai ricercatori del Laboratorio europeo di biologia molecolare (Embl) in collaborazione con l’università tedesca di Heidelberg. Le immagini, pubblicate su Nature, dimostrano che i ‘mattoni’ che compongono il virus sono disposti in una maniera del tutto inattesa: conoscere la loro esatta posizione permetterà di sviluppare nuovi farmaci mirati per bloccare il processo di maturazione.

Around one-third of people
living with HIV in Eastern Europe who were diagnosed with TB had multi-drug
resistant TB, according to the findings of a global study of TB/HIV management
in high- and middle-income countries. The findings of the study, conducted by EuroCoord, were presented by Anne Marie Efsen of the University of
