Does treating worms in people with HIV slow progression to AIDS?
There is evidence that co-infection of Helminth worms may result in a more rapid progression of HIV infection to AIDS. Does treating these worms ("de-worming") slow down this progression? In a new study published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, researchers set out to answer this question. Their study found that there were simply not enough data to make any firm conclusions, and they call for larger, well-designed studies to help come to a definitive answer.
