background: due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with hiv-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and hcv (hepatitis c virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. however, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive in...

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), a result of human HIV (Human Immunodeficinency Virus) infection, is one of the most troublesome world's health problems. Extensive researches to find effective drugs for its treatment are running fast in huge capacities. IMOD (Immuno-Modulator Drug) is the name of an herbal drug that has modulatory effects of immune system. As a goal of this research,...

we conducted this study to obtain a comprehensive picture of molecular epidemiology of hiv-1 in three neighboring countries, i.e. afghanistan, iran, and pakistan as a basis for discussing possible hypothesis regarding between-country virus transmission. our results showed that subtype composition differs between these countries with more variation in pakistan than iran and afghanistan. the crf3...
