...Dr. Grinspoon has had to work hard to find comparable controls to hold HIV+ patients against. "In adjusting for these traditional factors these investigators are attempting to isolate and describe the contribution of simply being HIV+ to these adverse clinical outcomes, and in practically each case they find there is a greater risk for those who are HIV+."

Aging with HIV: Where do we stand after CROI 2013? [Published National AIDS Treatment Advocacy Project - 5 hours ago]

If your objection to eating rat or horse meat is that you didn't intend to eat rat or horse meat, Shaw says that's a perfectly reasonable complaint. "But if your objection is, 'Eww, it's icky to eat a rat,' I don't think you can make a compelling moral argument for that. Rabbits are just as disgusting as rats. In fact, they're almost exactly the same animal, yet people eat tons of rabbit but draw the line at rat."

Small US trial looks at body's ability to fight HIV [Published Yahoo! Singapore - May 21 2013]

...According to news reporting out of Boston, Massachusetts, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "The human leukocyte antigens HLA-B27 and HLA-B57 are associated with protection against progression of disease that results from infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), yet most people with alleles encoding HLA-B27 and HLA-B57 are unable to control HIV-1. Here we found that HLA-B27-restricted CD8(+) T cells in people able to control infection with HIV-1 (controllers) and those who progress to disease after infection with HIV-1 (progressors) differed in their ability to inhibit viral replication through targeting of the immunodominant epitope of group-associated antigen (Gag) of HIV-1."
