TL;DR: Kissing was a significant risk for primary EBV infection, a total of 89% of infections were symptomatic, and blood viral load and CD8(+) lymphocytosis correlated with disease severity, according to university students studied prospectively.

TL;DR: Findings of a randomized trial conducted in multiple countries regarding the efficacy of antiretroviral regimens with simplified dosing with positive results are reported.

TL;DR: It is concluded that EBV PCR with careful attention paid to changes in EBV DNAemia could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of PTLD, and thus, it is postulated that quantitative monitoring of Epstein–Barr virus shedding after transplantation could distinguish EBV‐associated illnesses and predict clinical outcome.

TL;DR: The observation that the only significant risk factor for acquisition of EBV infection was deep kissing was confirmed and higher amounts of gp350 antibody correlated significantly with a lower severity of infectious mononucleosis, which strengthens the rationale for a gp350‐based prophylactic EBV vaccine.

TL;DR: The female genital tract may serve as a reservoir of persistent HIV-1 replication during cART and affect the use of cART to prevent sexual and perinatal transmission of HIV- 1.
