background: improving the performance of hiv diagnosis assays is one of the most important ways to reduce hiv transmission. because of the high mutation rate of hiv, it is critical to use the conserved proteins to develop diagnostic immunoassay methods. because integrase is one of the most conserved proteins of hiv, it may be a good target for this purpose. in this paper cloning, purification a...

conclusions hiv/hcv co-infection is an important medical problem in north-eastern poland. a history of incarceration and younger age at hiv diagnosis were additional to idu risk factors for hcv seropositivity in this cohort. patients and methods adult hiv-1 infected patients, with at least one antihcv result, treated in one of polish hiv/aids reference centers, participated in this cross-sectio...

infection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) is a progressive condition which may cause endothelial dysfunction and liver damage leading to coagulopathy. with adventure of highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart), life expectancy has prolonged in hiv positive patients but several acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids)-related conditions such as coagulopathies are responsible for ass...

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a condition in which the intestine’s ability to push food through is reduced. It often leads to the dilation of the various parts of the bowel. It can be idiopathic or inherited from a parent, or caused by another disease. We report a rare case of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in a 3-year-old boy who referred with acute abdominal pain, and was lat...

Background: Oral lesions are among the earliest clinical manifestations of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection and are important in early diagnosis and for monitoring the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral lesions and their relationship with a number of factors in HIV/AIDS patients attending an HIV cente...

background and objective: although transfusion therapy has lead to great improvement in longevity for hemophiliacs, but there have been tragic setbacks especially from transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) .hiv was reported to increase the rate of hcv-related liver failure by 4.2 times. in this study, we aimed to determine the seroprevalence of hiv and h...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infects human by destroying the immune system. The types of HIV strains HIV-1 and HIV-2, among being more prevalent considered deadly. Eventually either leads to disease Acquired Syndrome (AIDS). Traditional medicinal plants have a pivotal role in modern pharmacological process due their rich composition secondary metabolites with significant biological activi...

In 2018, 5.1 per 100,000 persons in the United States assigned females at birth (AFAB) were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV prevention tools, including daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), screening for sexually transmitted infections, treatment, and sexual health counseling, can be implemented into clinical practice to address prevalence of infection among this popul...

Background & Aims: Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in human. Parasites are one of the most important causes of infectious diseases in patients with AIDS. The prevalence of these parasites varies based on the condition of host’s immune system and the stage of disease (HIV/AIDS). To compare the prevalence of opportunistic intestinal parasites a c...

The current study involves the synthesis of fourteen analogs oligochitosan and their screening for antiviral potential against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), respiratory syncytial (RSV) Coxsackie virus. synthesized were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) FTIR techniques. HIV-1 p24 ELISA was performed using antigen capture assay in order to estimate viral infectivity loss. It...
