Accelerated Aging in People Living With HIV: the Neuroimmune Feedback Model
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38356933/
People living with HIV (PLWH) experience earlier onset of aging-related comorbidities compared to their counterparts without HIV. This paper lays out a theoretical model to explain why PLWH experience accelerated...
Depressive symptoms, problematic substance use, low antiretroviral therapy adherence, elevated systemic inflammation, and low connectivity in the brain's central executive network form a self-perpetuating feedback loop.
Bilateral Cryptococcal Choroiditis in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patient: a Case Report
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38357214
Cryptococcal choroiditis, though exceptionally rare, can occur in HIV-positive patients with disseminated cryptococcosis. Ophthalmologists should maintain a high index of suspicion for opportunistic infections, even in the absence of pronounced...
Cryptococcosis ranks among the most common opportunistic infections in individuals with uncontrolled HIV, yet it is also observed in other states of immunosuppression.
Isolated Inferior Division Oculomotor Nerve Palsy as the First Manifestation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Syphilis Co-Infection: a Rare Case Report

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis are two sexually transmitted diseases that continue to pose significant public health challenges globally. HIV and syphilis can be seen together; individuals with one...
HIV and syphilis can be seen together; individuals with one of these infections are at risk of developing the other. Sharing common risk factors such as sexual transmission or intravenous drug use makes their coincidence likely.
Association of HIV and HCV Infection With Carotid Artery Plaque Echomorphology in the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38333992/
HIV with poor immunologic control, as well as HCV infection, either alone or in the presence of HIV, were associated with different echomorphologic phenotypes of carotid artery plaque.
Adjusted analyses showed that people living with HIV and current CD4+ count <200 cells/µL had a significantly higher prevalence of predominantly echolucent plaque than those without HIV.

Anticipating the availability of a safe vaccine, scientists at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) planned for a multicenter study of the prevalence, incidence, and efficacy of an experimental vaccine...
The US CDC AIDS Project 24 was designed to help describe the natural history of AIDS, define risk factors, and predict future trends.
