TL;DR: Investigation of how highly active anti‐retroviral therapy (ART) alter blood lymphocyte subpopulations in HIV‐1‐infected children found good, partial and poor responses to ART on the basis of viral load measurement in blood.

TL;DR: Correlations with other sexually transmitted infections suggest common transmission routes and HHV-8 is highly prevalent among recently HIV-1-infected subjects.

TL;DR: The CMV antigenemia assay may be a simple and rapid means of identifying those patients with unilateral retinitis at highest risk of developing CMV Retinitis of the fellow eye or of visceral CMV disease if intravitreal injections or implants are used as sole treatment for CMVretinitis.

TL;DR: Investigation of associations between bactericidal antibody response induced by MenC vaccine and the frequency and activation profile (expression of CD38, HLA-DR and CCR5 molecules) of total CD4+ memory T cell sub-populations in HIV-1-infected children and adolescents indicates that less differentiated CD+ T cells, like TCM may be constantly differentiating into intermediate and later differentiated CD4- T cell subsets.

TL;DR: This study provides the first report of the GBV-C prevalence at the time of diagnosis of HIV-1 and the incidence density of GBv-C infection in one year and the predominant genotype is 2b.
