Half of the participants in the clinical trial were given a daily pill containing two anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs), emtricitabine and tenofovir. Both drugs are already widely available in the ARV combination pill Truvada, which is commonly prescribed in HIV treatment. The other half of the trial participants were given a placebo pill. Participants were tested for HIV monthly, and received risk-reduction counseling, condoms, and management of any sexually-transmitted infections. During the trial period, 64 people in the placebo ...

He had been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, that causes Aids, for more than a decade and also had leukaemia.The clinic said since the transplant was carried out 20 months ago, tests on the patient's bone marrow, blood and other organ tissues have all been clear.In a statement, Professor Rodolf Tauber from the Charite clinic said: "This is an interesting case for research."But to promise to millions of people infected with HIV that there is hope of a cure would not be right." Like many of you, I am skeptical about the long-term efficacy of this treatment and am concerned about the social justice challenges pr...

The increases, which ranged from 6.9 percent to 9 percent for all of Bristol’s HIV products “are well beyond any increases in the Consumer Price Index and above the increases taken by any other company”, says Martin Delaney of the FPC, in a statement. “These drugs have been on the market for several years and their development costs have long been recovered. There is no justification for this kind of increase.” Another FPC spokesperson, Lynda Dee of the AIDS Treatment Activist Coalition and AIDS...
