  1. Statin Therapy Suppresses Coronary Plaques in HIV Patients. Treatment with potent statin medication appears to reduce plaque burden in coronary arteries of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) while untreated patients experienced expansion of plaques.
  2. Few Women Qualify for 3-Person IVF. Close to 800 women of childbearing age in the U.S. each year and more than 150 in the U.K. would appear to be candidates for mitochondrial transfer.
  3. Fat, Lean Mass Grows With Raltegravir and Protease Inhibitors. Patients with HIV who undergo treatment with the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (Isentress) or with protease inhibitors appeared to gain similar lean mass and central and peripheral fat with either type of drug.
  4. Combos Cure HCV in Almost All With HIV Co-infection. Two drug combinations aimed at hepatitis C (HCV) yielded almost perfect cure rates in patients also infected with HIV.
