Studies of a prophylactic HIV-1 vaccine candidate based on modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) with and without DNA priming: Effects of dosage and route on safety and immunogenicity
(2007)
Background: Two parallel studies evaluated safety and immunogenicity of a prophylactic HIV-1 vaccine in 192 HIV-seronegative, low-risk
volunteers. Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) and plasmid DNA (pTHr) expressed HIV-1 ...
Immunoepidemiology of Wuchereria bancrofti Infection:
(2007)
We compared the age profiles of infection and specific antibody intensities in two communities with different

HIV-1 Subtype D Infection Is Associated with Faster Disease Progression than Subtype A in Spite of Similar Plasma HIV-1 Loads
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
We investigated the effect of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype on disease progression among 145 Kenyan women followed from the time of HIV-1 acquisition. Compared with those infected with subtype A, women ...

Studies of the effect of hormonal contraceptive use on the risk of HIV-1 acquisition have generated conflicting results. A recent study from Uganda and Zimbabwe found that women using hormonal contraception were at increased ...
Feasibility of detecting human immunodeficiency virus type 1 drug resistance in DNA extracted from whole blood or dried blood spots
(2007)
Due to high cost, availability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) drug resistance testing in
resource-poor settings is still limited. We therefore evaluated the usefulness of viral DNA extracted from either
whole ...
nfection With Trichomonas Vaginalisi Increases the Risk of Hiv-1acquisition
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
We conducted a prospective study among women in Mombasa, Kenya, to determine whether Trichomonas vaginalis infection was associated with an increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. At monthly ...
