Abstract

Training is essential in order to avoid being infected by a bloodborne disease, says the author. This training must be a cooperative effort by the employer and the safety and/or emergency response employee. The bloodborne pathogens plan must include education, vaccination, and follow-up.

HIV-phyloTSI: subtype-independent estimation of time since HIV-1 infection for cross-sectional measures of population incidence using deep sequence data.

BACKGROUND: Estimating the time since HIV infection (TSI) at population level is essential for tracking changes in the global HIV epidemic. Most methods for determining TSI give a binary classification of infections as recent or non-recent within a window of several months, and cannot assess the cumulative impact of an intervention. RESULTS: We developed a Random Forest Regression model, HIV-phyloTSI, which combines measures of within-host diversity and divergence to generate continuous TSI estimates directly from viral deep-sequencing data, with no need for additional variables. HIV-phyloTSI provides a continuous measure of TSI up to 9 years, with a mean absolute error of less than 12 months overall and less than 5 months for infections with a TSI of up to a year. It performs equally well for all major HIV subtypes based on data from African and European cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate how HIV-phyloTSI can be used for incidence estimates on a population level.

Role of gamma delta T-lymphocytes in HIV infection.

T-lymphocytes expressing the gamma delta T-cell receptor (TCR) comprise a small proportion (1-5%) of circulating CD3(+) T-lymphocytes. While T-cells expressing a V delta 2V gamma 9-encoded TCR dominate among peripheral blood gamma delta T-lymphocytes in healthy individuals, significant alterations in the gamma delta TCR repertoire are observed in HIV-infected persons. These changes are due to the selective preservation (and frequently moderate expansion) of V delta 1-expressing cells and the simultaneous depletion of V delta 2-expressing cells. In this brief review, we discuss the alterations in the gamma delta T-lymphocyte compartment in HIV infection, with special emphasis on the potential role of gamma delta T-cell in the immune defense against HIV.
