CONT

In 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada(SCC) held that the criminal law imposes a duty on a person to disclose HIV positive status before sexual activity that poses a "realistic possibility of transmission" so that the HIV negative sexual partner has the opportunity to choose whether to assume the risk of being infected with HIV. "HIV non-disclosure" is the term used to describe these cases, i. e., criminal cases involving transmission, or exposure to the realistic possibility of transmission, of HIV through sexual activity.

CONT

En 2012, la Cour suprême du Canada (CSC) a statué que le droit pénal impose une obligation de révéler sa séropositivité avant une activité sexuelle lorsqu'existe une «possibilité réaliste de transmission», afin que le partenaire sexuel séronégatif ait la possibilité de décider d'assumer ou non le risque de contracter le VIH. La «non-divulgation de la séropositivité» est l'expression utilisée dans de tels cas, c.-à-d. les affaires criminelles dans lesquelles il y a transmission du VIH ou exposition à une possibilité réaliste de transmission du VIH dans le cadre d'une activité sexuelle.

OBS

non-divulgation du VIH : terme tiré du mini-lexique «Violence faite aux femmes» et reproduit avec l'autorisation du Centre de ressources en français juridique de l'Université de Saint-Boniface.

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
OBS

Main target of HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] are two white blood cells; the lymphocyte and the macrophage. In particular, a subset of lymphocytes called T4 cells are infected; the hallmark of AIDS is a depletion of the T4 population. Unlike T4 cells, the macrophage is not killed by HIV. It may serve as a reservoir for the virus.

Le VIH [virus de l'immunodéficience humaine] est, tout comme les autres virus, un parasite intracellulaire : isolée, la particule virale est inerte; elle ne nuit que lorsqu'elle pénètre dans une cellule. Les infections virales débutent par la fixation des particules virales sur un récepteur membranaire des cellules cibles : c'est la molécule CD4 [cluster de différentiation 4] pour le VIH.

CONT

The less sensitive EIA [Enzyme Immunoassay] is one where the “detuned” assay is made less sensitive by using a higher serum dilution(1/20, 000 compared to 1/400), a shorter specimen incubation period, and a higher cut-off point to be considered positive. If a specimen is tested using both assays(the standard and the detuned assay) and has a positive result in both; the person from whom the specimen was collected is presumed to have been infected for at least a year. However, if the specimen has a positive result using the standard EIA but then is nonreactive using the detuned assay, the patient is presumed to have been infected with the HIV virus for less than six months.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Cette nouvelle technique appelée «algorithme de test sérologique de la séroconversion récente au VIH» conjugue le dépistage usuel du VIH à partir de la détection d'anticorps contre le virus et un «test désensibilisé». Si, contrairement au test désensibilisé, le test de dépistage habituel décèle la présence d'anticorps, les chercheurs en concluent que l'individu vient de contracter le VIH parce que les réponses des anticorps ne sont pas très puissantes.

CONT

La première approche [...] était basée sur un test commercial (Abbott 3A11-LS) de première génération, modifié de façon à perdre de la sensibilité. Un résultat positif avec un test de dernière génération (sensible) et négatif avec un test désensibilisé (lorsque la quantité d'anticorps est inférieure au seuil de positivité de ce test) permettait de conclure à une infection récente.

  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
  • Medication
DEF

Any drug that is given through a needle, either in a small dose or with a syringe ("works") or with a longer drip method.

OBS

The term intravenous drug has been used by doctors and drug users, so it can mean different things. The drug is usually put right into the vein, but some drug users "pop" a drug just under the skin. If the needles are shared and the first person has HIV germs, the chances are very high that anyone they share the needle with will become infected from the blood on the needle or in the works. Except for drugs given in a long drip method in hospital, drugs given by needle are now called injection drugs instead of intravenous drugs. This should stop the confusion between needles used by doctors-now called intravenous-and needles used by drugs users-which should be called injections.

Dapsone is an antibiotic effective against the bacteria that causes leprosy. It is an effective treatment for dermatitis herpetiformis, although it is unknown how dapsone helps with this disease. Dapsone is also used to prevent Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV).

La dapsone, découverte en 1980, appartient à la classe des sulfones.

Ces indications reposent sur ses effets antibiotiques (lèpre, pneumocystose...) et immunomodulateurs (dermatose, bulleuses auto-immunes, dermatose neutrophiliques...).

Unlike drugs, to which HIV can develop resistance by genetically reshaping its component parts, the engineered (smart bomb) virus attacks a feature that HIV probably cannot alter without rendering itself harmless. In laboratory experiments, it reduced HIV to undetectable levels, raising the possibility of an entirely new kind of therapy for treating AIDS and maybe other viral diseases.

OBS

The virus doesn’t seem to infect any cells other than those infected with HIV. The method consists of reprogramming a virus, changing its natural target so that it kills another virus. However, the therapy based on injection of live viruses is unlikely to be approved easily.

CONT

The HIV-hunting virus has been designed by Dr. John Rose and his colleagues at Yale University School of Medicine this year. They worked with a well-understood virus that infects cattle, known as VSV, or vesicular stomatitis virus and stripped out the gene that makes its protein coat. In its place, they inserted human genes for the two proteins that constitutes the T-cell lack. This created a novel virus, coated with T-cell lock proteins avid to find HIV keys, a sort of HIV in reverse. When added to culture of infected human T-cells, the redesigned viruses sought out and killed them.

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Une technique a été développée pour lutter contre les amplifications parasites et s'assurer que la bande observée correspond bien à la séquence recherchée. Cette technique appelée PCR «nichée» (nested PCR), consiste à réaliser deux PCR successives en utilisant des couples d'amorces différents, le deuxième couple d'amorces encadrant une séquence incluse dans celle qui est amplifiée par le premier couple d'amorces. Ainsi si le premier couple d'amorces est artéfactuelle, lors de la deuxième PCR les amorces du deuxième couple ne pourront pas s'hybrider et il n'y aura pas d'amplification. Cette technique permet d'augmenter dans le même temps la spécificité et le taux d'amplification. Elle est particulièrement souhaitée lorsque la quantité de départ est faible.

CONT

Dans ces cellules, ces transcrits illégitimes sont en quantité infime (une seule copie de mRNA pour 100 à 1000 cellules), mais sont cependant amplifiables en recouvrant à deux séries successives de 20 cycles de PCR, en utilisant pour le second tour des amorces incluses (nested PCR).
