Psychoactive Drugs and Infectious Diseases
A. J. S. Rayl | Apr 16, 2000 | 10+ min read
For nearly a century, it's been known that drugs of abuse alter the immune system. Since the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, however, an explosion of data has given rise to a rapidly evolving area of research. Investigators around the world have shown that such psychoactive drugs as heroin, morphine, cocaine, and marijuana affect both the neurophysiologic and immunologic systems. In recent years, researchers have produced strong experimental evidence that these drugs of a

Is HIV progression sex-linked?
Bob Grant | Aug 12, 2009 | 3 min read
A genetic variant on the X chromosome may explain why some HIV-infected women are slower to develop full-blown AIDS than men. Although several human genetic variants have been implicated in the control and spread of HIV within a host, this is the first time that a sex chromosome has been found to harbor a suspect stretch of genome related to the disease.HIV-1 budding from cultured lymphocyte Image: C.

New Weapons Against HIV
Ricki Lewis | Oct 1, 2001 | 8 min read
As the AIDS pandemic enters its third decade, viral resistance is beginning to counter the success of "highly active antiretroviral treatment" (HAART), the multidrug cocktails introduced in 1996. "Viral resistance is a significant problem, particularly for patients who began therapy in the pre-protease inhibitor era and who developed resistance to multiple reverse transcriptase inhibitors," says Robert Schooley, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Cen
