		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; but did not have the time to&#8230;
I would like to have blogged about this thought provoking excerpt from Russell Banks’ The Darling on the difference between empathy and sympathy.
“What was ethically and even practically wrong with having empathy towards the other? For a long time, I answered, Nothing. Nothing at all. It&#8217;s good politics. I see a blind man about to cross a street and think, He can&#8217;t see the whizzing traffic, he needs me to see it for him, to take his arm and escort him over to ...

		<description><![CDATA[The results of the CAPRISA trial which tested the safety and effectiveness of a 1% Tenofovir Gel  for the prevention of HIV acquisition in women created quite a stir at the XVIII International AIDS conference in Vienna. For the first time, and after years of unsuccessful research, a randomised trial involving 889 women in South Africa showed that it was possible to prevent HIV acquisition with a gel containing an antiretroviral (ARV).
Overall the results are clear and unequivocal, after 30 months of gel use, the group of women who ...

		<description><![CDATA[PITTSBURGH (PA, USA) – Women represent more than half of those infected with HIV worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa the figure reaches 60% and such a high rate of infection occurs in a context where women’s fertility rate is also high compared to the developed world. Pregnancy is therefore a critical issue when reseearching and responding to the HIV epidemics but little is known about the impact of pregnancy on HIV transmission and results are contradictory.
However, for the first time, a research team has investigated in a large study the impact ...

HAART for HIV Prevention, an Overview
(reproduced with permission)





Despite the interesting results of an HIV vaccine trial in Thailand  (RV144), HIV prevention is still limited to a small number of options  many of which are not bullet-proof. Biomedical interventions based on  vaccines and microbicides are still a long shot away. Conversely,  treatment is working well in bringing HIV-infected people back to a  normal life and potentially reducing the risk of HIV transmission by  reducing their viral load. The use of antiretroviral drugs as a means ...

		<description><![CDATA[In February 2007, a Welsh man was diagnosed with HIV at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary in Wales. So far, he was one amongst the 2500+ new HIV diagnoses in the UK that year. But he became the subject of scientific investigation when he reported 62 sexual encounters in the previous 6 months.
Of his first 9 sexual partners contacted by a team of researchers from the Cardiff Royal Infirmary interested in the transmission of HIV through sexual network, 5 turned out to be HIV positive. This did not mean that he ...
