Global epidemiology of HIV infection in men who have sex with men

TL;DR: It is shown that the high probability of transmission per act through receptive anal intercourse has a central role in explaining the disproportionate disease burden in MSM and prevention strategies that lower biological transmission and acquisition risks offer promise.

The immune response during acute HIV-1 infection: clues for vaccine development.

TL;DR: The finding that the first effective immune responses drive the selection of virus escape mutations provides insight into the earliest immune responses against the transmitted virus and their contributions to the control of acute viraemia.

HIV-1 vaccine-induced immunity in the test-of-concept Step Study: a case–cohort analysis

TL;DR: Consistent with previous trials, the MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef vaccine was highly immunogenic for inducing HIV-specific CD8+ T cells and suggest that future candidate vaccines have to elicit responses that either exceed in magnitude or differ in breadth or function from those recorded in this trial.
