monthly antibiotic chemoprophylaxis and incidence of sexually transmitted infections and hiv-1 infection in kenyan sex workers: a randomized controlled trial.sexually transmitted infections (stis) are common in female sex workers (fsws) and may enhance susceptibility to infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1).200415173146
herpes simplex virus type 2 and risk of intrapartum human immunodeficiency virus transmission.to determine whether herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infection was associated with risk of intrapartum human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) transmission and to define correlates of hsv-2 infection among hiv-1-seropositive pregnant women.200717267842
herpes simplex virus type 2, genital ulcers and hiv-1 disease progression in postpartum women.co-infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) has been associated with increased hiv-1 rna levels and immune activation, two predictors of hiv-1 progression. the impact of hsv-2 on clinical outcomes among hiv-1 infected pregnant women is unclear.201121637835
successful increase in contraceptive uptake among kenyan hiv-1-serodiscordant couples enrolled in an hiv-1 prevention trial.to evaluate a multipronged approach to promote dual contraceptive use by women within heterosexual hiv-1-serodiscordant partnerships.200920081393
relative hiv resistance in kenyan sex workers is not due to an altered prevalence or mucosal immune impact of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection.chronic infection by herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) increases hiv susceptibility, perhaps due to hsv-2-associated increases in activated mucosal immune cells. a small number of kenyan female sex workers (fsws) exhibit relative hiv resistance. we examined whether relative hiv resistance was related to differences in the prevalence or mucosal immune impact of hsv-2. participants were recruited from an open cohort of hiv-uninfected fsws in nairobi, kenya. women who had been practicing sex work ...200919925401
