Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Bone Mineral Density and Bone Markers in HIV-infected Youth
Abstract
Background—Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a significant co-morbidity in HIV. However, studies evaluating vitamin D supplementation on bone health in this population are limited. This study investigates changes in bone health parameters after 12 months of supplementation in HIVinfected youth with vitamin D insufficiency.
Methods—This is a randomized, active-control, double-blind trial investigating changes in bone parameters with 3 different vitamin D3 doses [18,000 ...

Effects of Amprenavir on HIV-1 Maturation, Production and Infectivity Following Drug
Withdrawal in Chronically-Infected Monocytes/Macrophages
Abstract: A paucity of information is available on the activity of protease inhibitors (PI) in chronically-infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) and on the kinetics of viral-rebound after PI removal in vitro. To fill this gap, the activity of different concentrations of amprenavir (AMP) was evaluated in chronically-infected MDM by measuring p24-production every day up to 12 days after drug administration and up to seven days after drug ...

Effect of vitamin A and vitamin C supplementation on oxidative stress in HIV and HIV-TB co-infection at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Nigeria.
Abstract
Background: HIV and TB infections are both associated with elevated oxidative stress parameters. Anti-oxidant supplementation may offer beneficial effects in positively modulating oxidative stress parameters in HIV and HIV-TB infected patients. We investigated the effects of vitamin A and C supplementation on oxidative stress in HIV infected and HIV-TB co-infected subjects.
Methods: 40 HIV/TB co-infected and 50 HIV mono-i...

Bundled HIV and Hepatitis C Testing in the Emergency Department: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Introduction: An estimated 25% of the 1.2 million individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the U.S. are co-infected with hepatitis C (HCV). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends HCV testing for high-risk groups. Our goal was to measure the impact of bundled HIV and HCV testing vs. HIV testing alone on test acceptance and identification of HCV and HIV.
Methods: We conducted a two-armed, randomized controlled trial on a convenience sample of 478 adult ...
