In a landmark achievement for the fight against HIV, Sweden has attained the critical “95-95-95” target on the path to tackling the disease. Advanced bioinformatics modeling developed by a team from Los Alamos National Laboratory was deployed to track and verify the country’s progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and World Health Organization target.
According to findings from a multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine and released today in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), transplanting kidneys from deceased donors who had the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to recipients with HIV is safe. Perhaps more importantly, the study authors also found that HIV-to-HIV kidney transplants are comparable in effectiveness to those using organs from donors without HIV.

With data from extensive genomic surveys of the syphilis bacterium – correlated with clinical information from patients – an international team of researchers and doctors are on the hunt for proteins on the surface of the microbe that don’t vary and could be good targets for a much-needed vaccine
Wistar Institute scientists have successfully isolated and cloned fully human antibodies that can block specific Type-I interferon molecules in vitro; their discovery has an array of potential clinical & research applications, enabling scientists with a new way to investigate the role of specific Type-I interferons in a variety of diseases.
Dr. Maria Alcaide started her career at the University as an infectious disease physician and has since built a strong research portfolio. She was tapped to be the interim vice provost for research and scholarship.
Researchers at Université de Montréal’s teaching hospital say the discovery could help lessen and even eliminate viral loads in people undergoing antiretroviral therapy.
In a study of 12 participants, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have demonstrated that a cocktail of three broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAb) successfully suppressed virus in people living with HIV. A subset of participants also demonstrated long-term control of the virus months after antibody levels declined to low or undetectable.
