TL;DR: Evaluating the rate of within-couple HIV transmission among serodifferent heterosexual and MSM couples during periods of sex without condoms and when the HIV-positive partner had HIV-1 RNA load less than 200 copies/mL found no phylogenetically linked transmissions.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the risk of HIV transmission in gay couples through condomless sex when HIV viral load is suppressed is effectively zero, which supports the message of the U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) campaign, and the benefits of early testing and treatment for HIV.

TL;DR: In patients with sustained virological suppression on ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor-based therapy, switching to raltegravir demonstrated noninferior efficacy and resulted in a better lipid profile at 48 weeks than continuing riton Cavir- boosted protease inhibitors.

TL;DR: HAART-associated hepatotoxicity correlates with liver histological stage in patients coinfected with HIV and HCV, and there was no difference in hepatot toxicity risk for different antiretroviral therapies in patients with mild-to-moderate fibrosis.

TL;DR: The use of the most potent antiretroviral therapy in pretreated patients with high HIV load, and the capacity of initial virological decline to predict the long-term outcome are suggested.
