UW Medicine researchers developed a new test, which measures the quantity and quality of inactive HIV viruses in the genes of people living with HIV.
A new test that measures the quantity and quality of inactive HIV viruses in the genes of people living with HIV may eventually give researchers a better idea of what drugs work best at curing the disease.
Currently no cure exists for HIV and AIDS. But antiretroviral therapy drugs, or ARTs, effectively suppress the virus to undetectable levels, but when ART is stopped, HIV reactivates to rekindle active infection.
Published today in Cell Reports Medicine, the study discusses how a new test, developed jointly by scientists at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, will give researchers, and eventually doctors, an easier way to gauge how much HIV virus might reside in a patient’s genome.

Alumni Association to Honor Four with Awards
April 12, 2021 by Alumni and Family Engagement
The Hope College Alumni Association is honoring four alumni with Distinguished Alumni Awards this year.
The association plans to celebrate both the 2020 and 2021 honorees virtually at a date to be determined. The awards are normally presented at the annual Alumni Banquet during Alumni Weekend each April, but this year’s and last year’s in-person events were canceled because of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
The spring 2020 honorees are the late Dr. Elton Bruins, a 1950 graduate who played a leading role in chronicling the Holland area’s and college’s history across more
It s an initiative that can help women determine their cancer risk early on Author: Jim Mertens Updated: 7:12 PM CDT April 9, 2021
SEATTLE Research suggests some women have inherited genes that put them at higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
Could those genes be detected and used as an early warning sign for women?
Adriana Hutchings thinks so. Myself, I m a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
But Adriana got some more troubling news. Because of my thyroid cancer, I have higher chances of certain breast cancers.
She also has a long family history of cancer. My mom and dad both died of cancer and my aunt had ovarian cancer and breast cancer twice.
