    Heterosexual HIV-1 transmission after initiation of antiretroviral therapy: a prospective cohort analysis 

    Deborah, Donnell; Jared, M. Baeten; Kiarie, James; Katherine, K. Thomas; Wendy, Stevens; Craig, R. Cohen; McIntyre, James; Lingappa, Jairam R.; Connie, Celum (2010-06)
    Background High plasma HIV-1 RNA concentrations are associated with increased risk of HIV-1 transmission. Initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces plasma HIV-1 concentrations, but little empiric data are available ...

    Salivary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-specific immunoglobulin A in HIV-1-exposed infants in Kenya 

    Farquhar, C; Cott, T Van; Bosire, R; Bermudez, C (2008)
    Humoral immunity, and specifically immunoglobulin A (IgA) that is directed against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, may contribute to protection against HIV-1 acquisition at mucosal surfaces. HIV-1-specific IgA has ...

    The Prevalence of Stunting Is High in HIV-1–Exposed Uninfected Infants in Kenya 

    McGrath, Christine J; Nduati, RW; Richardson, Barbra A; Kristal, Alan R; Mbori-Ngacha, DA; Farquhar, Carey; John-Stewart, Grace C (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 ...

    Using Plasma Viral Load to Guide Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation to Prevent HIV-1 Transmission 

    Murnane, Pamela M; Hughes, James P; Celum, Connie; Lingappa, Jairam R; Mugo, Nelly; Farquhar, Carey; Kiarie, James; Wald, Anna; Baeten, Jared M (2012)
    Background Current WHO guidelines recommend antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation at CD4 counts ≤350 cells/µL. Increasing this threshold has been proposed, with a primary goal of reducing HIV-1 infectiousness. Because ...

    Increased Risk of HIV-1 Transmission in Pregnancy: A Prospective Study among African HIV-1 Serodiscordant Couples 

    MUGO, Nelly R; HEFFRON, Renee; DONNELL, Deborah; WALD, Anna; WERE, Edwin O; REES, Helen; CELUM, Connie; KIARIE, James N; et al (2011)
    Background 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 ...

    Heterogeneity in host HIV susceptibility as a potential contributor to recent HIV prevalence declines in Africa 

    Nagelkerke, Nico J D; Vlas, Sake J de; Jha, Prabhat; Luo, Ma; Plummer, Francis A; Kaul, Rupert (2009)
    Background HIV prevalence has recently declined in several African countries, and prior to this the risk of HIV acquisition per unprotected sex contact also declined in Kenyan sex workers. We hypothesized that heterogeneity ...
