Independent effects of nevirapine prophylaxis and HIV-1 RNA suppression in breast milk on early perinatal HIV-1 transmission.
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2007)
The mechanism of action of single-dose nevirapine on reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 may involve reduction of maternal HIV-1 or prophylaxis of infants.
METHODS:
In a study that randomized pregnant mothers ...
Breast milk alpha-defensins are associated with HIV type 1 RNA and CC chemokines in breast milk but not vertical HIV type 1 transmission
(2007)
Alpha-defensins are proteins exhibiting in vitro anti-HIV-1 activity that may protect against mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 via breast milk. Correlates of alpha-defensins in breast milk and transmission risk were ...
A decrease in albumin in early HIV type 1 infection predicts subsequent disease progression.
(2007)
We investigated the association between albumin levels and HIV-1 disease progression among 78 Kenyan women followed from before infection through a median of 70 months. With HIV-1 acquisition, median albumin decreased from ...
Early response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected Kenyan children
(2007)
OBJECTIVES:
To describe the early response to World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1-infected ...
Early response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected Kenyan children.
(2007)
To describe the early response to World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1-infected Kenyan ...
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 ...
