NEWS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Avoiding HIV Treatment Scams, Denialism and Misinformation
They infest your e-mail accounts, sully the Web and clutter up the
shelves of bookstores: Misleading, potentially dangerous theories
about HIV medications and so-called "cures" for AIDS.
Unfortunately, denialism and conspiracy theories about HIV are common
-- they're an easy way for some people to create hard-and-fast answers
where none truly exist. To help you be aware of potentially harmful
HIV/AIDS information, The Center for AIDS has put together this
fact sheet on misleading books and Web sites, along with a list
of tips on how to evaluate the trustworthiness of the information
you read.

Cardiovascular Risk and Antiretroviral Therapy
First, the bad news: Evidence clearly suggests that HIV-positive
people taking HIV meds may be at an increased risk for developing
heart problems. Next, the good news: The rate of heart problems
in HIVers has actually decreased during the last couple of years.
This is probably thanks to the use of newer medications and more
aggressive management of some of the main causes of heart disease
in people with HIV -- such as smoking, hypertension and lipid (cholesterol/triglycerides)
levels. In this article, The Body's Dr. Pablo Tebas reviews the
latest studies on this critical issue from the 13th Conference on
Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.

======================================================================
Cancer and HIV: Studies Investigate Potential Links
Does having HIV put you at greater risk for cancer? The answer,
based on a number of studies, seems to be yes. But how much of a
risk remains an ongoing question. As Dr. Mark Wainberg reports for
The Body from the 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic
Infections, researchers are still trying to determine whether cancer
somehow develops differently in people with HIV -- and if so, how.
Studies are also being done to figure out whether HIV medications
can slow or prevent the occurrence of cancer in people with HIV.

Pain Relief for Neuropathy? A Peppery Patch May Help
A patch containing capsaicin -- the same chemical that makes chili
peppers so hot -- can relieve pain caused by peripheral neuropathy
for as long as three months, according to a 307-person study conducted
in New York City. The patch isn't yet available commercially, but
the study found that after applying it one time for 30 to 90 minutes,
HIV-positive people with neuropathy reported an average of 23 percent
less pain -- and that the pain relief sometimes lasted as long as
12 weeks. The main side effects of the patch were a burning sensation
lasting up to several days, and a reddening of the skin around where
the patch was applied. (Web highlight from aidsmap.com)
