The Prevalence of Stunting Is High in HIV-1–Exposed Uninfected Infants in Kenya
(2012)
As prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission (PMTCT) programs decrease the numbers of HIV-1–infected infants, it remains important to improve growth in HIV-1–exposed, uninfected (EU) infants. To determine the growth ...
Comparison of CD4 Cell Count, Viral Load, and other markers for the prediction of mortality among HIV-1–Infected Kenyan pregnant women
(2009)
Background. There are limited data regarding the relative merits of biomarkers as predictors of mortality or time
to initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Methods. We evaluated the usefulness of the CD4 cell count, ...
Predictors of mortality in HIV-1 infected children on antiretroviral therapy in Kenya: a prospective cohort
(2010-05-18)
Abstract
Background
Among children, early mortality following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) remains high. It ...
HIV-1 disease progression in breast-feeding and formula-feeding mothers:
(2007)
Background. There is conflicting evidence regarding the effects of breast‐feeding on maternal mortality from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) infection, and little is known about the effects of breast‐feeding ...
Morbidity among HIV-1–infected mothers in Kenya prevalence and correlates of illness during 2-year postpartum follow-up
(2007)
Background: Much of the burden of morbidity affecting women of
childbearing age in sub-Saharan Africa occurs in the context of HIV-1
infection. Understanding patterns of illness and determinants of
disease in HIV-1–infected ...
Breast Milk HIV-1 RNA Levels and Female Sex Are Associated With HIV-1–Specific CD8+ T-Cell Responses in HIV-1–Exposed, Uninfected Infants in Kenya
(2011)
Background. Although evidence supports a relationship between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–1 exposure and HIV-1−specific CD8+ T cell responses, studies have not demonstrated a direct association between the quantity ...
Predictors of mortality in HIV-1 infected children on antiretroviral therapy in Kenya:
(2010)
Background: Among children, early mortality following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) remains high. It is
important to define correlates of mortality in order to improve outcome.
Methods: HIV-1-infected ...
Medication diaries do not improve outcomes with highly active antiretroviral therapy in Kenyan children: a randomized clinical trial
(2009-06-24)
Abstract
Background
As highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) becomes increasingly available to African children, it ...
Cofactors for HIV-1 Incidence during Pregnancy and Postpartum Period
(2010)
Objectives
To estimate HIV-1 incidence and cofactors for HIV-1 incidence during pregnancy and postpartum.
Design
Retrospective study among women who were HIV seronegative during pregnancy.
Methods
Mothers ...
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 ...
