Raltegravir for the treatment of patients co-infected with HIV and tuberculosis (ANRS 12 180 Reflate TB): A multicentre, phase 2, non-comparative, open-label, randomised trial
Concurrent treatment of HIV and tuberculosis is complicated by drug interactions. We explored the safety and efficacy of raltegravir as an alternative to efavirenz for patients co-infected with HIV and tuberculosis.

Higher cross-subtype IFN- ELISpot responses to Gag and Nef peptides in Brazilian HIV-1 subtype B- and F1- than in C-infected subjects
HIV-1 diversity has been considered a huge challenge for the HIV-1 vaccine development. To overcome it, immunogens based on centralized sequences, as consensus, have been tested. In Brazil,the co-circulation of three subtypes offers a suitable scenario to test T cell cross-subtype responses to consensus sequences. Furthermore, we included peptides based on closest viral isolates (CVI) from each subtype analyzed to compare with T cell responses detected against the consensus sequences.

HIV-1 subtype B- and F1-infected subjects display higher cross-clade T-Cell response than subtype C-infected subjects
The impact of the extensive genetic diversity of the HIV-1 group M isolates and its implications for vaccine design have long been discussed. Studies indicate that Gag and Nef conserved epitopes are commonly recognized and give rise to high cross-clade responses. The aim of this study was to compare T-cell responses to peptide pools derivate from subtype B, C and F1 consensus, among Brazilian subjects infected with those three HIV-1 subtypes.

CASE REPORT: CMV AND HSV-2 MYELORADICULITIS IN AN HIV INFECTED PATIENT
While CMV myeloradiculitis is a known complication in AIDS patients with severe immunosuppression, HSV-2 necrotizing myeloradiculitis is rare and often associated with disabling a fatal outcome. We hereby describe a 46 year-old HIV infected patient with profound and sustained immunosuppression who presented with an acute ascending paraparesis and urinary retention. Lumbar spine MRI showed contrast enhancement at the conus medullaris and cauda equine, and both CMV and HSV-2 CSF PCR were positive. Despite treatment, the patient died 20 days later. We review the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of herpes virus associated myeloradiculitis and discuss the approach in similar cases.

Impact of reverse transcriptase resistance on the efficacy of TMC125 (etravirine) with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors in protease inhibitor‐naïve, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor‐experienced patients: study TMC125‐C227†
TMC125‐C227, an exploratory phase II, randomized, controlled, open‐label trial, compared the efficacy and safety of TMC125 (etravirine) with an investigator‐selected protease inhibitor (PI) in nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)‐resistant, protease inhibitor‐naïve, HIV‐1‐infected patients.
