...transmission or infection from taking hold in the first place? Bill and Melinda Gates asked that provocative question on the opening day of the conference, and are committing their considerable financial resources toward finding an answer. In their remarks, they highlighted the need to develop microbicides and oral prevention drugs while we wait for a vaccine. And they will get their first hint at how smart their decision was this Thursday, when scientists from West Africa report the initial results from the first trial studying an oral prevention drug...
...realistic are the Gates in expecting even more from the ARVs? "I do think the range of prevention options we have within the next decade will greatly expand," says Dr. Helene Gayle, President of Care USA and co-chair of the conference. "The biologic plausibility for both microbicides and oral prevention drugs is so great." Dr. Mark Dybul, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, said that if a microbicide or prevention drug becomes available to protect people from infections, they would be funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief if countries chose to use them. "We would support...

And because I usually ride the first bus out in the morning, even the most uneventful of trips requires me to wake up at an ungodly 5:30 a.m.But operant conditioning has failed to work its charm, and I keep...
...Georgia, Texas and California. I see children in my office every week with tender, warm boils of pus on their buttocks, legs, arms and even foreheads. Ten years ago these infections were rare and quickly treated with a shot of antibiotics in the office and a short course of oral medicine. But today's children return to the clinic day after day for incision and drainage of their abscesses while we wait for the first or perhaps second oral antibiotic to treat the infection...
...When these patients develop recurrent boils, they undergo weeks of bleach baths and intranasal antibiotic creams to hopefully eradicate the resistant bacteria that have colonized their skin and nasal passages. Occasionally, oral antibiotics are ineffective and patients must be admitted to a hospital to receive intravenous therapy and sometimes surgical treatment of their abscesses. Unlike strep, staph is alive and getting stronger all the time, with few new effective antibiotics on the horizon...
