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 ...
HV-1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and breast milk HIV-1 transmission.
(2009)
Breast-feeding by infants exposed to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) provides an opportunity to assess the role played by repeated HIV-1 exposure in eliciting HIV-1-specific immunity and in defining whether ...
Comparison of techniques for HIV-1 RNA detection and quantitation in cervicovaginal secretions.
(University of Nairobi., 2001-02)
PRINCIPLES:
HIV-1 in female genital secretions has been measured using swabs, Sno Strips (Akorn, Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL), and cervicovaginal lavage (CVL), but little is known regarding the comparability of these collection ...
Condom Use Among Sexually Active Kenyan Female Adolescents at Risk for HIV-1 Infection
(2008)
Abstract High rates of unintended pregnancy and HIV
infection occur in sub-Saharan Africa yet few Kenyan
studies have defined correlates of condom use in sexually
active female adolescents. Female adolescents ...
Timing of breast milk HIV-1 transmission: a meta-analysis
(2001-02)
:
To define the frequency and timing of breast milk transmission of HIV-1.
DESIGN:
Meta-analysis of data abstracted from published literature.
SUBJECTS:
Participants in prospective cohort studies of MTCT ...
Prevalence and magnitude of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-specific lymphocyte responses in breast milk from HIV-1-seropositive women.
(2003)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-specific cell-mediated immunity of breast milk may influence the likelihood of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 via breast-feeding. In breast-milk specimens collected during ...
Cloning and characterization of functional subtype A HIV-1 envelope variants transmitted through breastfeeding.
(University of Nairobi., 2007-03)
Previous studies of HIV-1 variants transmitted from mother-to-infant have focused primarily on computational analyses of partial envelope gene sequences, rather than analyses of functional envelope variants. There are very ...
Neutralization escape variants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 are transmitted from mother to infant
(University of Nairobi., 2006-01)
Maternal passive immunity typically plays a critical role in protecting infants from new infections; however, the specific contribution of neutralizing antibodies in limiting mother-to-child transmission of human ...
Performance of Clinical Algorithms for HIV-1 Diagnosis and Antiretroviral Initiation among HIV-1-Exposed Children Aged Less Than 18 Months in Kenya
(2009-04)
Background
Ninety percent of HIV-1-infected children live in sub-Saharan Africa. In the absence of diagnosis and antiretroviral therapy (ART), approximately 50% die before 2 years.
Methods
We evaluated sensitivity ...
Maternal SDF1 3'A polymorphism is associated with increased perinatal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmission
(University of Nairobi., 2000-07)
Genetic polymorphisms in chemokine and chemokine receptor genes influence susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and disease progression, but little is known regarding the association between ...
