Prevalence and magnitude of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-specific lymphocyte responses in breast milk from HIV-1-seropositive women.
(2003)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-specific cell-mediated immunity of breast milk may influence the likelihood of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 via breast-feeding. In breast-milk specimens collected during ...
Prevalence, perceptions, and correlates of pediatric HIV disclosure in an HIV treatment program in Kenya.
(2012)
Disclosure to HIV-infected children regarding their diagnosis is important as expanding numbers of HIV-infected children attain adolescence and may become sexually active. In order to define correlates of pediatric disclosure ...

Salivary secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor is associated with reduced transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 through breast milk
(University of Nairobi., 2002-10)
Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a protein found in saliva, breast milk, and genital secretions, is capable of inhibiting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 in vitro. The aim of this study was to ...
Cohort profile: the paediatric antiretroviral treatment programmes in lower-income countries (KIDS-ART-LINC) collaboration.
(University of Nairobi., 2008-06)
Cloning and characterization of functional subtype A HIV-1 envelope variants transmitted through breastfeeding.
(University of Nairobi., 2007-03)
Previous studies of HIV-1 variants transmitted from mother-to-infant have focused primarily on computational analyses of partial envelope gene sequences, rather than analyses of functional envelope variants. There are very ...
Neutralization escape variants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 are transmitted from mother to infant
(University of Nairobi., 2006-01)
Maternal passive immunity typically plays a critical role in protecting infants from new infections; however, the specific contribution of neutralizing antibodies in limiting mother-to-child transmission of human ...
Breast-feeding and Transmission of HIV-1.
(University of Nairobi., 2004-02)
Breast-feeding substantially increases the risk of HIV-1 transmission from mother to child, and although peripartum antiretroviral therapy prophylaxis significantly decreases the risk of mother-to-child transmission around ...
CC and CXC chemokines in breastmilk are associated with mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission.
(University of Nairobi., 2005-10)
INTRODUCTION:
CC and CXC chemokines may play a role in mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission by blocking HIV-1 binding to chemokine receptors and impeding viral entry into cells.
METHODS:
To define correlates of breastmilk ...
Performance of Clinical Algorithms for HIV-1 Diagnosis and Antiretroviral Initiation among HIV-1-Exposed Children Aged Less Than 18 Months in Kenya
(2009-04)
Background
Ninety percent of HIV-1-infected children live in sub-Saharan Africa. In the absence of diagnosis and antiretroviral therapy (ART), approximately 50% die before 2 years.
Methods
We evaluated sensitivity ...
