New Focus Area: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV)

JAIDS is now accepting manuscripts for a new focus area of interest: HBV and HCV  

The investment in HIV research has allowed us to make huge advances in controlling a formerly brutal epidemic. Now, what we've learned from HIV is being applied to hepatitis viruses, both HBV and especially HCV where curative treatments are on the verge of transforming that epidemic as well. JAIDS believes there is a clear synergy in these research efforts and that on all levels these research efforts are vital to share across the boundaries of interest of specific viral infections. JAIDS looks forward to publishing the best of this work and calls for manuscripts in HCV and HBV research as well as in ongoing work against HIV infection.

Dr. William Blattner, Epidemiology and Prevention:

“Brawner and colleagues observe heightened risk for genital injury associated with hormonal contraception, an unexplored factor that may help untangle the controversy surrounding HIV transmission risk in birth control users.”

The editors, publisher and staff of JAIDS morns the loss of Joep Lange, a true leader in the worldwide fight against the HIV epidemic, who was killed in the senseless destruction of the Malaysian Air flight bringing him and others to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne Australia. Joep was a dear colleague and friend to so many in our field and a tireless advocate for a science-based approach to improve patient outcomes and for universal access to HIV care. He helped create programs in many resource limited regions especially in Africa and Asia. He was a quiet, centered and refined man who could be a strong and determined voice against those opposed to equality in care. He was tireless in his work and an exemplary collaborator. He was joined in this tragedy by his equally effective partner Jacqueline van Tongeren. Dr. Lange was a past president of the International AIDS Society, the convener of the Melbourne conference, and will be sorely missed by all. Joep would have been the first to note the misguided violent forces behind this terrorist attack that cost the lives of innocent passengers and our dear colleagues and friends.
