Background: HIV/AIDS has appeared in the early 1980s. Today this disease has become a threat to human. As of 17/3/2006, Vietnam had detected 105,611 cases of HIV infection. Prevalence of abused prisoner in detention centers is quite high. \r\n', u'Objectives: To evaluate the HIV infected status and related factors and to investigate about knowledge, practice of drug-abused prisoners of Quang Ninh detention center on HIV/AIDS prevention.\r\n', u'Subjects and method: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 346 drug-abused prisoners (338 men, 8 women) of Quang Ninh detention center from June 01 to July 14, 2006.\r\n', u'Results: Prevalence of HIV was 56.07% (CI 95%: 50.9-61.3).Shared syringes increase HIV risk to 5.76 times. Reused syringes increase HIV risk to 7.5 times. Daily drug using increase the risk to 2.46 times. The risk in drug users with more than 5 years increases 12 times. HIV infected rate in cities is 1.92 times more than in rural areas. Good knowledge about non-transmitted behavior was 83%; about 3 ways of transmitions was 50.3%. Knowing about how to detect themselves from HIV only 32.7% have properly answers. Conclusion: HIV prevalence of drug-abused prisoners of Quang Ninh detention center is very high.\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

The study was conducted on 32 HIV positive patients (24 males and 8 females, over 15 years old, with CD4 T-cell counts <350 cell/mm3) who were treated with antiretrovirus therapy (Videx and Zerit) at Dong Da Hospital from Nov 2002 to Oct 2003. The results showed that ARV therapy is effective. The weight, Kanofsky scores, and T CD4 counts of patients were increased significantly after 6 months of treatment. Side effects included fatigue, headache, nausea, but only on first week. Enzyme amylase was increased slightly after 6 months of treatment

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a worldwide epidemic caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Newer medicines for eliminating the viral reservoir and eradicating the virus are urgently needed. Attempts to locate relatively safe and non-toxic medications from natural resources are ongoing now. Natural-product-based antiviral candidates have been exploited to a limited extent. However, antiviral research is inadequate to counteract for the resistant patterns. Plant-derived bioactive compounds hold promise as powerful pharmacophore scaffolds, which have shown anti-HIV potential. This review focuses on a consideration of the virus, various possible HIV-controlling methods and the recent progress in alternative natural compounds with anti-HIV activity, with a particular emphasis on recent results from natural sources of anti-HIV agents.

Recent literature indicates that the incidence of deep neck space infection is on the decline because of the availability of better antibiotics used for upper respiratory infection, but cases of deep neck space infection that do not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy are on the rise. This may be due to reduced immunity, debility, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and improper or inadequate treatment. With the emergence of the HIV, the incidence of deep neck space infections and life threatening complications has been on the rise. We describe a case of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis in an HIV infected patient who developed deep neck space infection and was treated by incision and drainage.
