Mashup Score: 65Drugs that make HIV-infected cells self-destruct induce profound viral load drops in mice after just one or two doses - 6 day(s) ago
Last month’s Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2024) included the latest information about potential drugs and treatments that might lead to a cure. Two presentations included promising data on TACK (targeted activation of cell kill). This is a property of some drugs in the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (NNRTI) family which induces a chain of events leading to the self-destruction of HIV-infected cells.

Mashup Score: 16Stigma has a profound impact on the mental and physical health of Indian women with HIV - 7 day(s) ago
Women living with HIV in West Bengal (an eastern state of India) face intersectional stigma due to HIV as well as their other marginalised identities such as being a widow or a sex worker. This impacts not only their mental health, but also their physical health and leads to poorer HIV treatment outcomes, according to a qualitative study published in PLOS Global Health by Dr Reshmi Mukerji of University College London and colleagues.

Mashup Score: 6
Among migrants in Europe, the risk of contracting HIV or developing AIDS is exacerbated by the many social vulnerabilities they face in their daily lives. Furthermore, these vulnerabilities intersect and are embedded in sexism, cisgenderism and racism. This is illustrated by three case-studies from a Swiss sociological and qualitative study recently published in Culture, Health and Sexuality.

HIV clinicians have issued a note of caution regarding long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine in a recent commentary in AIDS. Dr Diego Ripamonti of the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo and colleagues from the universities of Milan and Siena highlight that people with long treatment histories in particular may not be good candidates for the treatment, due to the substantial risk of developing resistance to the drugs should the treatment fail.

Although rates of perinatally acquired HIV have been falling for several decades around the world, approximately 2.5 million children and adolescents were estimated to be living with HIV in 2022, 90% in Africa and most with perinatally acquired HIV.
