Genital levels of soluble immune factors with anti-HIV activity may correlate with increased HIV susceptibility
(University of Nairobi, 2008-10)
Despite the scale of the HIV pandemic, mucosal innate immune defenses prevent HIV infection after most sexual exposures. Several soluble immune factors with in vitro anti-HIV activity are present at the genital mucosa in ...
Coinfection with herpes simplex virus type 2 is associated with reduced HIV-specific T cell responses and systemic immune activation.
(University of Nairobi,, 2008)
BACKGROUND:
Chronic coinfection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been associated with an increased HIV viral load and more rapid disease progression, perhaps related to ...
Mucosal Neisseria gonorrhoeae coinfection during HIV acquisition is associated with enhanced systemic HIV-specific CD8 T-cell responses
(2008)
Background: The host immune response against mucosally acquired pathogens may be
influenced by the mucosal immune milieu during acquisition. As Neisseria gonorrhoeae
can impair dendritic cell and T-cell immune function, ...
