It is a Sunday morning. Outside Hyderabad, at a  Rajasthani-style resort named Dhola-ri-dhani, close to 500 men have  gathered.  The younger among them seem to be in their 20s, the seniors  in their 60s. They speak softly, but warmly to each other. Many of them  know each other through previous secret meetings but if they were to  meet outside, they would not acknowledge that. It would be as though  they have never met before. But here they are at peace in a gathering  ...

End Of Vaccination  Took Away Protection From HIV, Say Researchers
Washington: The end of  smallpox vaccination in the mid-20th century could be responsible for a  loss of protection that led to the rapid spread of HIV, according to  researchers.
It is known that vaccinia immunization, as given to  prevent the spread of smallpox, reduces HIV replication in the  laboratory.
Raymond Weinstein, a scientist at George Mason  University, Manassas, Virginia, US, in collaboration with a team from  George Washington University and UCLA to look at ...

Scientists are a step closer to understanding why some people with HIV develop full-blown AIDS, and others don&#8217;t.
Researchers in Massachusetts and California say that the answer lies in how the immune cells that recognize invaders are educated &#8211; a finding that may pave the way for new strategies for designing an HIV vaccine.
The human immune system detects foreign cells with the help of cell-surface proteins called human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). Each person&#8217;s cells carry a particular set of HLA molecules &#8211; the person&#8217;s HLA type &#8211; which bind fragments of ...
