Prevention of HIV-1 infection with early antiretroviral therapy

TL;DR: The exciting evidence generated by this paper – that antiretroviral treatment of HIV-1 infection definitively reduces the risk of onward transmission of the virus by 96% – was rightly dubbed Science magazine's ‘Breakthrough of the Year’ in 2011.

Antiretroviral prophylaxis for HIV prevention in heterosexual men and women.

TL;DR: Oral TDF and TDF-FTC both protect against HIV-1 infection in heterosexual men and women, and both study medications significantly reduced the HIV- 1 incidence among both men andWomen.

Initiation of antiretroviral therapy in early asymptomatic HIV infection

TL;DR: The initiation of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-positive adults with a CD4+ count of more than 500 cells per cubic millimeter provided net benefits over starting such therapy in patients after the CD4+, but the risks of unscheduled hospital admissions were similar in the two groups.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.

Viral Load and Heterosexual Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

TL;DR: The viral load is the chief predictor of the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV-1, and transmission is rare among persons with levels of less than 1500 copies of HIV -1 RNA per milliliter.

Universal voluntary HIV testing with immediate antiretroviral therapy as a strategy for elimination of HIV transmission: a mathematical model

TL;DR: A theoretical strategy of universal voluntary HIV testing and immediate treatment with ART, combined with present prevention approaches, could have a major effect on severe generalised HIV/AIDS epidemics.

Mortality of HIV-1-infected patients in the first year of antiretroviral therapy: comparison between low-income and high-income countries.

TL;DR: Patients starting HAART in resource-poor settings have increased mortality rates in the first months on therapy, compared with those in developed countries, and timely diagnosis and assessment of treatment eligibility, coupled with free provision of HAART might reduce this excess mortality.
