Hello everybody.
I've been reading a lot about discoveries against the HIV, such as in the WCG forums, in many websites, or as in here, for instance, which makes me wonder whether all such information will be compiled in a short amount (where the good results would be gathered together), or pharmacy competition would hinder such compilation (through trademark, intellectual property, etc), if this would be a sensible question to be answered... |

Well, if your asking what I think your asking, part of the agreement to have your project put on the grid in the first place is that all of the research and results that come out of it is public domain. Meaning that any researcher or company can come in and use those results for their own tests, but they don't own the results from the grid....if that makes any sense to you.

For all the legal details, look at the Submit a Proposal page ( https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/viewSubmitAProposal.do ) and download the 2 PDF files with sample contracts for a project. The project has to assign the results we compute to the public domain. (Common heritage of mankind is a less prosaic and more grandiose equivalent phrase.)

Hello Dan60,
This seems to be a sensible question, but it is complex to answer. For scientists, we might first start looking at review articles that attempt to report a snapshot of the current state of the art. However, for any field, even a review article may be too focused, and we then have to look at a lot of current literature and older reviews. For laymen, articles can come out to usually outline a breakthrough. Yet again, these are quite focused. By the time something comes out, say, on a website that compiles data like WHO, the news is quite old but mostly solid. Some general advice: read and take in as much that you want from different sources. After a while, you start to figure out which sources are better for you than others. HIV is a complex issue, so any random collection of recent news might not even seem related. Hope this helps, Dan |

I'm not sure of the frequency of updating, but this might be a nice resource for news about HIV:
