Infants with late breast milk acquisition of HIV-1 generate interferon-gamma responses more rapidly than infants with early peripartum acquisition
(2009)
Infants infected with HIV-1 after the first month of life have a lower viral
set-point and slower disease progression than infants infected before 1
month. We investigated the kinetics of HIV-1-specific CD8+ T ...
Partner notification by HIV-1 seropositive pregnant women: association with infant feeding decisions
(2001-04)
Each year, an estimated 600 000 perinatal HIV-1 infections occur despite the availability of interventions to decrease mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 [1]. In order to implement perinatal HIV-1 interventions it is ...
Early response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected Kenyan children
(2007)
OBJECTIVES:
To describe the early response to World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1-infected ...
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B*18 and protection against mother-to-child HIV type 1 transmission.
(2004)
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules regulate the cellular immune system and may be determinants of infant susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Molecular HLA typing for class I alleles ...
Early response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected Kenyan children.
(2007)
To describe the early response to World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1-infected Kenyan ...
HV-1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and breast milk HIV-1 transmission.
(2009)
Breast-feeding by infants exposed to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) provides an opportunity to assess the role played by repeated HIV-1 exposure in eliciting HIV-1-specific immunity and in defining whether ...
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 ...
Infant CD4 C868T polymorphism is associated with increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) acquisition
(University of Nairobi., 2010-06)
The C868T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CD4 receptor encodes an amino acid change that could alter its structure and influence human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection risk. HIV-1-infected pregnant women ...
Early response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected Kenyan children.
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
To describe the early response to World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1-infected Kenyan ...
Maternal HLA homozygosity and mother-child HLA concordance increase the risk of vertical transmission of HIV-1.
(University of Nairobi., 2008-04)
BACKGROUND:
Mother-child human leukocyte antigen (HLA) concordance and maternal HLA homozygosity may increase the risk of vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) risk by reducing infant immune ...
