Immunocompromised populations develop a lower immunogenic response to COVID-19 vaccines, leaving them at a higher risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death. Patients with HIV who have low ...

HIV viruses infecting T-lymphocytes, computer illustration. The surface of the T-cell has a lumpy appearance with large irregular surface protrusions. Smaller spherical structures on the cell surface ...

Background. It has been suggested that routine CD4 cell count monitoring in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–monoinfected patients with suppressed viral loads and CD4 cell counts >300 cell/μL could ...

People with HIV who have moderate immune suppression appear to be at greater risk of severe COVID-19 'breakthrough' infection after vaccination, according to a new study. People with HIV who have ...

HIV researchers have long been trying to identify the specific cells that the virus prefers to infect and hide in. They know that HIV favors a special type of immune cells called memory CD4 T cells.

Background. Liver cirrhosis has been associated with decreased absolute CD4 cell counts but preserved CD4 cell percentage in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—negative persons. We evaluated factors ...

Despite the capability of antiretroviral drugs to suppress HIV to undetectable levels, some people living with the human immunodeficiency virus can't reach the goal of viral imperceptibility even with ...

In the 40-some years since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, scientists have learned a lot about the virus, the disease, and ways to treat it. But one thing they still don't completely ...
