Severe COVID-19 risk linked to lower HIV risk
The variant in question, which is associated with severe COVID-19, is located on chromosome 3 in a region that encodes for chemokine receptors. Individuals who carry the factor have decreased levels of the chemokine receptors CCR3, CCR5, and CXCR6, which was the clue to the link with HIV infection, since low values of these three receptors are associated with a lower prevalence of HIV infection, according to the paper's author, Hugo Zeber, PhD, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.

Fla. university awarded $1.3M from NIH for HIV test
With the grant, FAU researchers hope to develop an affordable, disposable self-testing HIV-1 chip that can selectively detect HIV from whole blood samples. The researchers are aiming for an automated test that requires no refrigeration and can produce results within 40 minutes. They also said it will be sensitive enough to detect HIV during acute infection, treatment, and viral rebound, according to a press release issued by the university.

FDA OK's new claim for Hologic's HIV assay
The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx is now the first dual-claim assay for both diagnosis and viral load monitoring in the U.S., Hologic said. First approved in late 2016 for viral load monitoring, the assay is a molecular diagnostic test that runs on the automated, sample-to-result Panther system. It uses a dual target approach against highly conserved regions in the HIV genome designed to deliver results across HIV-1 groups and subtypes, Hologic said.
