(2014-01-23)
OBJECTIVE::
We evaluated genetic variants in 51 candidate genes encoding proteins that interact with HIV-1 during the virus life cycle for association with HIV-1 outcomes in an African cohort.
METHODS::
Using a ...
Single-agent tenofovir versus combination emtricitabine plus tenofovir for pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV-1 acquisition: an update of data from a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial.
(2014)
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), with daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with emtricitabine, has been shown to be efficacious ...
Genital HIV-1 RNA predicts risk of heterosexual HIV-1 transmission.
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2011-04)
High plasma HIV-1 RNA concentrations are associated with an increased risk of HIV-1 transmission. Although plasma and genital HIV-1 RNA concentrations are correlated, no study has evaluated the relationship between genital ...
Increased risk of HIV-1 transmission in pregnancy: a prospective study among African HIV-1-serodiscordant couples.
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2011-09)
Physiologic and behavioral changes during pregnancy may alter HIV-1 susceptibility and infectiousness. Prospective studies exploring pregnancy and HIV-1 acquisition risk in women have found inconsistent results. No study ...
Increased risk of HIV-1 transmission in pregnancy: a prospective study among African HIV-1-serodiscordant couples.

Physiologic and behavioral changes during pregnancy may alter HIV-1 susceptibility and infectiousness. Prospective studies exploring pregnancy and HIV-1 acquisition risk in women have found inconsistent results. No study ...
Evaluation of the association between the concentrations of key vaginal bacteria and the increased risk of HIV acquisition in African women from five cohorts: a nested case-control study.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
BACKGROUND:
Disruptions of vaginal microbiota might increase women's susceptibility to HIV infection. Advances in molecular microbiology have enabled detailed examination of associations between vaginal bacteria and HIV ...
Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV-1 prevention does not diminish the pregnancy prevention effectiveness of hormonal contraception.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
BACKGROUND:
For women at risk of HIV-1, effective contraception and effective HIV-1 prevention are global priorities.
METHODOLOGY:
In a clinical trial of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV-1 prevention in ...
HIV-1 prevention for HIV-1 serodiscordant couples.
(2012)
A substantial proportion of HIV-1 infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa are in stable relationships with HIV-1 uninfected partners, and HIV-1 serodiscordant couples thus represent an important target population for ...
