Some viruses that make us sick are cleared by the immune system within days, while others lurk in our bodies for a lifetime and reemerge later to cause new problems. How and why viral levels in the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hepatitis B viral load is the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) found in a person’s bloodstream. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can pass from person to person through bodily fluids. It ...
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 ...
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 ...
