Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globally, great strides have been made in HIV testing and treatment over the last 30 years, which has helped to transform HIV from a fatal disease into a chronic, manageable condition for many people. However, HIV infection continues to pose a critical risk to health in many countries. The management of HIV can benefit from more individualized care and newer treatment options. Personalized medicine (PM) has the potential to tailor prevention and care interventions to optimize safety, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. By tailoring interventions to patient needs and characteristics (e.g., lifestyle, environment, genetics), chronic disease management goals are achieved. Researchers are actively seeking new personalized approaches to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure HIV infection.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine is focused on describing current personalized medicine approaches to HIV care. This encompasses efforts to deliver individualized care using modern technologies and innovative care models for HIV prevention, comorbidities (hepatitis C, cardiovascular, neurocognitive decline, etc.) and treatment so as to improve the length and quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients.
This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research across disciplines, including the basic sciences, clinical care and the behavioral and social sciences, in order to better understand and intervene to the benefit of people living with HIV.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collate evidence-based manuscripts on relevant topics in the field. Research articles, clinical studies, quantitative and qualitative analyses of pilot studies, meta-analyses, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Bertrand Lebouche
