However, when risk factors are taken into account using the Framingham Risk scores and a new risk prediction algorithm, the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk algorithm, the CVD risk in HIV+ patients is underestimated (30). There is a need to understand how HIV infection ...

Over the past four decades, research on the natural history of HIV infection has described how HIV wreaks havoc on human immunity and causes AIDS. HIV host genomic research, which aims to understand how human genetic variation affects our response to HIV
Currently, vaccine trials are using an algorithm of HIV detection that incorporates antibody or antigen-based kits, followed by Western Blots and finally, confirmatory PCR based assays. Unfortunately, many of the vaccine trial participants, irrespective of their HIV infection status, seroconvert in ...
