Changes in mitochondrial DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-infected patients with lipoatrophy randomized to receive abacavir

TL;DR: During the 24-week study, there was no significant change in mtDNA copy numbers in PBMCs in either treatment group, despite improvement in peripheral lipoatrophy among patients whose treatment was switched to abacavir.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virologic determinants of success after structured treatment interruptions of antiretrovirals in acute HIV-1 infection.

TL;DR: HIV-1 RNA measured 12 weeks after initiation of ARV was the only virologic variable associated with viral rebound after treatment interruption in PHI, and led to improved control of viral replication during structured treatment interruption.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new variant cytotoxic T lymphocyte escape mutation in HLA-B27-positive individuals infected with HIV type 1.

TL;DR: A peptide binding assay confirmed that the R264Q mutant peptide had 30-fold lower binding affinity to HLA-B27 compared to wild type, suggesting that this variant is a likely novel escape mutation in HLA -B27-positive individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syringe HIV seroprevalence and behavioural and demographic characteristics of intravenous drug users in Sydney, Australia, 1987.

TL;DR: The contents of needles and syringes returned by intravenous drug users to two Sydney needle and syringe exchange centres were analysed for HIV antibodies by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Reactive and borderline samples were further tested by the Western blot method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of two formats of informed consent on knowledge amongst persons with advanced HIV disease in a clinical trial of didanosine

TL;DR: It is found that the provision of information by written mode alone, or written and verbal modes were both associated with significant increases in knowledge levels and that there was a significant interaction in the degree of change between the two methods, with the written plus verbal method showing the most improvement over time.
