New studies of hiv infection

New studies of hiv infection.
A recently discovered, belligerent tendency of HIV leads to faster development of AIDS than other HIV strains, according to a new study. More than 60 pandemic strains of HIV-1 exist breastactives. This new strain has the shortest stretch from infection to the development of AIDS, at about five years, according to researchers at Lund University, in Sweden.

The untrodden strain is a fusion of the two most common strains in Guinea-Bissau, a small country in West Africa. It has been identified only in that region. When two strains join, they forge what's called a "recombinant penile enlargement presque isle cost. Recombinants seem to be more lively and more aggressive than the strains from which they developed," doctoral student Angelica Palm said in a Lund University account release.

Previous research has shown that the global spread of another recombinants is increasing. Moreover, increasingly mixed and complex HIV strains are becoming more normal in countries and regions with high levels of immigration, such as the United States and Europe. The remodelled study was published online recently and will appear in the print version of the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

Patrik Medstrand, a professor of clinical virology at Lund University, said HIV is a spry and variable virus. "New subtypes and recombinant forms of HIV-1 have been introduced to our piece of the world, and it is highly probably that there are a large number of circulating recombinants of which we know little or nothing," Medstrand said in the report release. "We therefore need to be aware of how the HIV-1 epidemic changes over time. Health feel interest services should be aware that certain HIV types can be more aggressive than others" precio.
