	HIV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HIV also directly attacks organs, such as the kidneys, the heart and the brain leading to acute renal failure, cardiomyopathy, dementia and encephalopathy.
		HIV is a member of the genus lentivirus (ICTVdb, 61.0.6), part of the family of retroviridae (ICTVdb, 61).
		HIV has been found in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but due to the low concentration of virus in these biological liquids, the risk is considered to be negligible.

	Corpus Christi Caller-Times / State seeks input on proposal to list HIV patients by name
		The current HIV tracking system uses the last four digits of a person's S Social Security number when he or she is tested.
		The state compiles statistics on half of all reported HIV cases, because much of the demographic information it receives from those who perform the tests is incomplete and unusable, said Sharon Melville, director of the department's HIV and STD division.
		Patients still will be able to choose a pseudonym if they opt for an anonymous test, which all publicly funded HIV testing sites are required to offer.

	The Body: Georgia: Proposal for List of HIV Patients Meets Little Fight
		A proposal to track positive HIV tests in Georgia using the names and addresses of patients has generated a surprisingly low volume of objections, according to Dr. Luke Shouse, HIV/AIDS surveillance coordinator for the Georgia Division of Public Health.
		Nationwide, 34 states use a names-based HIV tracking system; the other 15 and the District of Columbia assign a code to some or all of their HIV-positive residents.
		Shouse said the lack of HIV tracking means Georgia risks losing millions of dollars from the federal government, which plans to start using HIV data in 2005 to determine how much money states receive for AIDS prevention and treatment programs.

		Deborah McCray, a statistical analyst who was updating a partial list of HIV/AIDS patients, told investigators that Shireesh Patel, a co-worker, put a stack of personal papers on her desk near the 15 pages.
		This latest breach of privacy in the department is unrelated to a Feb. 17 incident in which the entire list of 6,500 county HIV/AIDS patient names was accidentally e-mailed to 800 department employees.

		The study adds that the new findings may help develop a new approach to HIV therapy, either by using the virus itself, or by using GBV-C proteins to activate other proteins or immune responses that could inhibit HIV.
		In addition, laboratory studies are the first to demonstrate an inhibitory effect of GB virus on HIV.

	DAYBREAK - New Frontiers -- Organ Transplantation for HIV-Positive Patients
		There are limited historical data from patients whose HIV status was unbeknown to the transplant team; only a handful of transplants have taken place when recipients were known to be HIV-positive.
		The fundamental obstacle the protocol team faced was clear: People with HIV have been excluded from transplantation largely because of concerns that immunosuppressive drugs administered to ward off the body's efforts to reject any foreign organ might worsen a patient's HIV infection or interfere with the workings of antiretroviral drugs.
		Patients would need to be both healthy enough to benefit from an organ transplant and in a position to take care of their new organs.

		New patients have higher proportion of women and are older then those on ICR: 27% of new patients were 66 years and older, compared with only 5% of ICR patients (Table 1).
		Because HIV disease is widely regarded as a stigmatizing condition, it is critically important that the identities of the subjects, institutions, and medical providers (and of individuals providing information about them) be kept completely confidential.

		In fact, the AIDS mortality rate has diminished consistently and currently HIV+ patient life expectancy is >30 years from the time of diagnosis.
		From a practical point of view, some pharmacological precautions are needed in the management of HIV+ patients after transplantation, particularly to prevent toxicity from the combined use of immunosuppressive drugs and anti-retroviral drugs.
		Apart from these precautions, the pre- and post-operative course for HIV+ patients does not differ from that of HIV negative patients undergoing organ transplantation.
