MHealth Intervention of HIV and STDs Partner Notification for MSM
HIV/AIDSSexually Transmitted Diseases1 moreMen who have sex with men (MSM) have become a focus of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) control in China. Most of MSM who seek causal partners through online dating platforms do not know their sexual partners' real HIV and STDs infection status, which leads to more high risk status, especially for sexual behaviors. Effective Internet-based partner notification is urgently warranted to increase their risk awareness and prevent HIV and STDs transmission. This study developed an app which can help MSM to query recent HIV and other STDs statuses each other from the testing platform in order that they can find a relatively safety sexual partners and reduce risk of HIV infection.
Co-adaptation Between Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8)...
HIV InfectionThe objective is to characterize the viral evolution and viral factors determining HIV virulence, the evolution of the HIV reservoir in PBMC and the co-evolution of anti-HIV CD8 T cell repertoires. The coordinated study of virus evolution, host responses and identification of genetic determinants of virulence should allow to better understand mechanisms of HIV pathogenicity and persistence of mutations in viral reservoirs.
