HIV-1 Clade D Is Associated with Increased Rates of CD4 Decline in a Kenyan Cohort
HIV-1 is grouped phylogenetically into clades, which may impact rates of HIV-1 disease progression. Clade D infection in particular has been shown to be more pathogenic. Here we confirm in a Nairobi-based prospective female sex worker cohort (1985-2004) that Clade D (n = 54) is associated with a more rapid CD4 decline than clade A1 (n = 150, 20.6% vs 13.4% decline per year, 1.53-fold increase, ...
متن کاملPatterns of HIV-1 evolution in individuals with differing rates of CD4 T cell decline.
Evolution of HIV-1 env sequences was studied in 15 seroconverting injection drug users selected for differences in the extent of CD4 T cell decline. The rates of increase of either sequence diversity at a given visit or divergence from the first seropositive visit were both higher in progressors than in nonprogressors. Viral evolution in individuals with rapid or moderate disease progression sh...
متن کاملCD4 decline is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and death in virally suppressed patients with HIV.
BACKGROUND The clinical implications of a considerable CD4 decline despite antiretroviral treatment and viral suppression are unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that a major CD4 decline could be a marker of cardiovascular disease or undiagnosed cancer. METHODS Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were followed in the Danish nationwide, population-based cohort study in the pe...
متن کاملA common CD4 gene variant is associated with an increased risk of HIV-1 infection in Kenyan female commercial sex workers.
BACKGROUND It has been predicted that CD4 C868T, a novel CD4 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that has been found to be highly prevalent among Africans, changes the tertiary structure of CD4, which may alter susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. METHODS Participants were from a Kenyan cohort and included 87 uninfected and 277 HIV-1-infected individuals. DNA seque...
متن کاملCharacterization of Immune Responses Induced by Combined Clade-A HIV-1 Recombinant Adenovectors in Mice
Background: Numerous evidences indicate that in some HIV-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against HIV-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the Adenovectors containing HIV genes in induction of immune responses in mice. Methods: The HIV-1 genes including gag p24, rev...
