Animal models of HIV-1 disease
Article Abstract:
The SCID-hu mouse is a good example of an animal model developed to study HIV-1 disease and assessed for utility. Other animal models for research on HIV vaccines and pathogenic mechanisms include transgenic mouse models, animal lentivirus models and HIV infection models.

Viral counts count in HIV infection
Article Abstract:
Research supports the view that measuring the amount of HIV in the blood can indicate the prognosis of the patient and the effectiveness of therapies. One study found a relative death hazard of 1.55 for each threefold increase in blood viremia.
