New Testing Strategy to Detect Early HIV-1 Infection for Use in Incidence Estimates and for Clinical and Prevention Purposes

TL;DR: The sensitive/less sensitive testing strategy provides accurate diagnosis of early HIV-1 infection, provides accurate estimates of HIV- 1 incidence, can facilitate clinical studies of earlyAIDS, and provides information on HIV-2 infection duration for care planning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seroprevalence of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) in countries of Southeast Asia compared to the USA, the Caribbean and Africa

TL;DR: Nasopharyngeal and oral carcinoma patients from Malaysia, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka who have very high EBV titres show that there is little, if any, cross-reactivity between antibodies to these two gamma viruses, suggesting that human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) may be either a recently introduced virus or one that has extremely low infectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous and antigen-induced production of HIV-inhibitory β-chemokines are associated with AIDS-free status

TL;DR: The association of chemokine production with antigen-induced proliferative responses, more favorable clinical status in HIV infection, as well as with an uninfected status in subjects at risk for infection suggests a positive role for these molecules in controlling the natural course of HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in Jamaica and Trinidad.

TL;DR: The higher incidence rate in women between the ages of 40 and 59 years, as well as the increase in HAM/TSP incidence rates with age, are indicative of the importance of adult-acquired HTLV-I infection, presumably through sexual transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission of HTLV-I and HIV among homosexual men in Trinidad.

TL;DR: The seroprevalence of HIV was three times higher than that for HTLV-I, suggesting that HIV is more efficiently transmitted, especially since HIV appears to have been recently introduced into Trinidad.
