A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination. In ...

Researchers have identified a positive correlation between viral load and the rate at which genetic diversity increases within intrahost HIV populations. HIV has been historically difficult to treat ...

Women with HIV in British Columbia accurately self-reported viral load, unaffected by sociodemographic factors, with 91% accuracy. High concordance (91%) was found between self-reported and clinical ...

A milliliter of blood contains about 15 individual drops. For a person with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), each drop of blood could contain anywhere from fewer than 20 copies of the virus to more ...

A federally funded clinical trial suggests knowing HIV viral load (number of HIV particles in the body) doesn’t improve the number of patients seeking treatment for active HIV infection or preventive ...

In a recent study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, researchers investigated whether denser intrahost human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) populations had a higher incidence of coinfection ...
