or “Nonreactive” or “Undetectable”. The most common ones detect HIV-1 virus plus the level of virus in the blood, commonly called an HIV “viral load”. Quantitative HIV-2 NAT is only used in the rare case of suspected or known HIV-2 infection. These ...
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bNAbs) have to date shown transient viral suppression when administered as monotherapy or as a cocktail of two antibodies1–4. A combination of three bNAbs p
Some HIV tests have a very slight chance of giving you false results. A “false-positive” result means the test shows you have HIV when you don’t. This occasionally happens when your test detects antibodies but they’re antibodies to another infection or substance, not to HIV. Rarely, a...
Fig. 1: VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-1 is endocytosed and induces type II NEIs. aHeLa cells were 1-h HIV-Gag-iGFP infected prior to VAP-A and HIV-1 IN (IN-2) immunolabeling. As controls, noninfected cells or no HIV-1 IN antibody were used (Supplementary Fig.2a). Samples were observed...
HCV and TB have exacerbated existing problems in healthcare provision in prisons. Prison healthcare budgets must reflect the growing needs of the prison population. Prison healthcare should be recognized as an integral part of the public health sector, and evolve from its present reactive "sick ca...

Fig. 2 Conventional and unconventional mechanisms of HIV infection of target cells: HIV infection of target cells through gp120/CD4/chemokine receptor interactions is the most efficient means of HIV infection. Alternative mechanisms include cell-to-cell transfer of HIV between infected cell and a tar...
By this means an improvement in the level of expression is achieved in many cases. EP-A-0 316 659 discloses the expression of fusion proteins which have determinants from HIV1 and HIV2, a carrier polypeptide component, which is derived in particular from the E. coli chloramphenicol ...
HIV-2 (also known as the West African AIDS Virus) is closely related to the simian immunodeficiency virus, and infected individuals are found primarily in West Africa (Smith, R. S. et al. (1990) “SYNTHETIC PEPTIDE ASSAYS TO DETECT HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS TYPES 1 AND 2 IN SEROPOSITIVE...
