Longitudinal assessment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific gamma interferon responses during the first year of life in HIV-1-infected infants.
(2005)
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection results in different patterns of viral replication in pediatric compared to adult populations. The role of early HIV-1-specific responses in viral control has not been ...
Breast milk cellular HIV-specific interferon γ responses are associated with protection from peripartum HIV transmission.
(2012)
Breast milk is a major route of infant HIV infection, yet the majority of breast-fed, HIV-exposed infants escape infection by unknown mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the role of HIV-specific breast milk cells ...
Timing of breast milk HIV-1 transmission: a meta-analysis
(2001-02)
:
To define the frequency and timing of breast milk transmission of HIV-1.
DESIGN:
Meta-analysis of data abstracted from published literature.
SUBJECTS:
Participants in prospective cohort studies of MTCT ...
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 ...
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 ...
Maternal SDF1 3'A polymorphism is associated with increased perinatal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmission
(University of Nairobi., 2000-07)
Genetic polymorphisms in chemokine and chemokine receptor genes influence susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and disease progression, but little is known regarding the association between ...
Comparison of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 viral loads in Kenyan women, men, and infants during primary and early infection
(University of Nairobi., 2003-06)
Steady-state levels of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA in plasma reached at approximately 4 months postinfection are highly predictive of disease progression. Several studies have investigated viral levels ...
Antenatal couple counselling increases uptake of intervention to prevent HIV-1 tranmission
(2004-12)
To determine effect of partner involvement and couple counseling on uptake of interventions to prevent HIV-1 transmission, women attending a Nairobi antenatal clinic were encouraged to return with partners for voluntary ...
Subtype C Is associated with increased vaginal shedding of HIV-1.
(2005-08-01)
The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected cells and HIV-1 RNA levels in genital secretions and breast milk and the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 were compared among subtypes A, C, and ...
