Objective: We present findings from a large cohort of individuals treated during primary HIV infection (PHI) and examine the impact of time from HIV-1 acquisition to antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation on clinical outcomes. We also examine the temporal changes in the demographics of individuals presenting with PHI to inform HIV-1 prevention strategies.
Methods: Individuals who fulfilled the criteria of PHI and started ART within 3 months of confirmed HIV-1 diagnosis were enrolled between 2009 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne virus mainly found in the Asia-Pacific region, leading to severe disease and mortality.
- Following a sentinel case in 2021, JEV has spread to northern and southeastern Australia, with cases reported as far south as Victoria, largely due to climate change-induced warmer and wetter conditions.
- Australian general practitioners (GPs) need to be educated about JEV, particularly those in rural areas, to effectively respond to its potential endemicity.
Introduction: There are few data on the frequency of virological remission in African individuals after treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART) in primary HIV infection (PHI).
Methods: We studied participants (n = 82) from South Africa and Uganda in Short Pulse Antiretroviral Treatment at HIV-1 Seroconversion, the first trial of treatment interruption in African individuals with PHI randomized to deferred ART or 48 weeks of immediate ART. All were female and infected with non-B HIV subtypes, mainly C.
