The Shield of Islam? Islamic Factor of HIV Prevalence in Africa *

HIV first appeared in West-Central Africa, then spread to the South, East and West and, at the same time, had hardly reached North Africa. A possible explanation of this pattern can be the role of…

Doctors Beyond Borders: Data Trends and Medical Migration Dynamics from Sub-Saharan Africa to the United States

The SSA physician brain drain is real, and the United States is playing an increasingly bigger role in this human resource crisis unless some radical actions are taken by the United United States and SSA countries most affected by this crisis.

Origin of AIDS

The history of SIVS and AIDS: epidemiology, phylogeny and biology of isolates from naturally SIV infected non-human primates (NHP) in Africa.

The study of SIV in their natural hosts should provide important clues to the real threat to human populations and also elucidate the mechanisms associated with a long-term persistent viral infection without clinical consequences for the host.

Timing the ancestor of the HIV-1 pandemic strains.

Using a comprehensive full-length envelope sequence alignment, the date of the last common ancestor of the main group of HIV-1 is estimated to be 1931 (1915-41).

A new method of molecular clock analysis, called Site Stripping for Clock Detection (SSCD), which allows selection of nucleotide sites evolving at an equal rate in different lineages, and is able to date exactly the ‘known’ origin of the infection of HIV‐1 group M.

Tracing the origin and history of the HIV-2 epidemic

The analysis provides evidence for a zoonotic transfer of HIV-2 during the first half of the 20th century and an epidemic initiation in Guinea-Bissau that coincides with the independence war, suggesting that war-related changes in sociocultural patterns had a major impact on the HIV- 2 epidemic.

Safety of immunization injections in Africa: not simply a problem of logistics.

Holistic rather than logistic approaches should be adopted to achieve safe injections in immunization, in the broader context of promoting safe vaccines and safety of all injections.
