Herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) suppression with acyclovir or valacyclovir reduces HIV-1 viral RNA levels; one hypothesis is that HSV-2 suppression reduces immune activation. We measured T cell immune activation markers ...
Predicting pregnancy in HIV-1-discordant couples.
(University of Nairobi, 2010-10)
This study examines the incidence and predictors of pregnancy in HIV-1-discordant couples from Nairobi, Kenya. Women from 454 discordant couples were followed for up to 2 years. One-year cumulative incidence of pregnancy ...
Cervicovaginal HIV-1-neutralizing immunoglobulin A detected among HIV-1-exposed seronegative female partners in HIV-1-discordant couples.
(2012)
Cervicovaginal HIV-1-neutralizing immunoglobulin A (IgA) was associated with reduced HIV-1 acquisition in a cohort of commercial sex workers. We aimed to define the prevalence and correlates of HIV-1-neutralizing IgA from ...
Unreported antiretroviral use by HIV-1-infected participants enrolling in a prospective research study.
(University of Nairobi, 2014-02)
Right from primary school, I liked science: understanding health research capacity building in sub-Saharan Africa through Kenyan training experiences.
(2014)
Defining research career paths that enable Africans to address local and global health issues is essential for population health. This study was conducted to better understand how international health training programs ...
