BACKGROUND: HIV genetic diversity has increased over time, with recombinant forms becoming more prevalent and complicating subtype classification and surveillance, particularly in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Accurate subtyping is critical...

Objective: With a rapidly aging population living with HIV that may face a double-hit of neuroHIV and Alzheimer’s disease, the objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the impact of...

BACKGROUND: Despite the United Nations’ plan to end Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as a public health concern by 2030, it remains a significant issue in low-income countries, including Ethiopia. Currently,...

Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are central to modern virology diagnostics. However, evidence supporting alternative specimen types remains uneven across viral families, especially for emerging viruses. This limits diagnostic flexibility...

Advances in antiretroviral therapy have transformed infection with HIV into a manageable chronic disease, increasing the survival of people living with HIV, who are also undergoing a demographic aging process...
