HIV infects, attacks body much faster than previously believed, experts find
The conclusion means testing must be performed sooner and more often in the hope of catching an infection before it spreads.
HIV infects and attacks the body within days -- much faster than previously thought -- drastically narrowing the window of time when intervention is possible, Duke University researchers have found.
This means clinicians must test more and sooner if they hope to catch an infection before it can be transmitted to someone else. "We're just going to have to be much more aggressive in identifying the infection early on," said Dr. Peter Leone, North Carolina's HIV/AIDS health director and an associate professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill schools of medicine and public health.

Hello,
My name is Justin Guild and I’m a graduate research assistant currently working with Dr. Jeong-Nam Kim (http://www.cla.purdue.edu/communication/people/jnkim.shtml) at Purdue University on a health communication study.
Specifically, our research explores how information sharing behavior through online communities (such as blogs) influences coping strategies among people with chronic conditions including cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, etc.
I’m contacting you to seek permission to place a link to our online web survey on your blog to invite readers and other visitors to participate. (I couldn't find any contact information on the main page so I thought replying to a comment on the latest post would be good too). The survey is purely academic in nature and takes no longer than 5-7 minutes to complete.
The web survey can be found by clicking on this link: http://www.createsurvey.com/c/70237-Os3LDl/
The findings of this study could lead to better management capacities of chronic diseases as well as an increase in funding for research related to online communities.
If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jguild@purdue.edu.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Justin Guild
