Co-infections and transmission networks of HCV, HIV-1 and HPgV among people who inject drugs
Co-infections with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human pegivirus (HPgV) are common in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected individuals. However, analysis on the evolutionary dynamics and transmission network profiles of these viruses among individuals with multiple infections remains limited. A total of 228 injecting drug users (IDUs), either HCV- and/or HIV-1-infected, were recru...
متن کاملMechanisms for Cell-to-Cell Transmission of HIV-1
While HIV-1 infection of target cells with cell-free viral particles has been largely documented, intercellular transmission through direct cell-to-cell contact may be a predominant mode of propagation in host. To spread, HIV-1 infects cells of the immune system and takes advantage of their specific particularities and functions. Subversion of intercellular communication allows to improve HIV-1...
متن کاملAdherence-related Mechanisms of Breastmilk Hiv-1 Transmission
Nicole Lane Davis: Adherence-related mechanisms of breastmilk HIV-1 transmission (Under the direction of William C. Miller) Postpartum HIV transmission through breastfeeding accounts for up to 44% of infant HIV infections. Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs are administered to either the HIV-infected mother or HIV-exposed infant throughout breastfeeding to reduce HIV transmission risk. Suboptimal adher...
متن کاملHIV-1 transmission, by stage of infection.
BACKGROUND The epidemiological impact of public health interventions targeted at reducing transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) during early or late-stage infection depends on the contribution of these disease stages to transmission within a particular epidemic. METHODS Transmission hazards and durations of periods of high infectivity during primary, asymptomatic, and la...
متن کاملHIV transmission and sexually transmitted infections.
Clinical Medicine Vol 8 No 3 June 2008 323 © Royal College of Physicians, 2008. All rights reserved. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) which causes AIDS and death in most of those infected after a median of 8–10 years. Where antiretroviral therapy is available, HIV is now regarded as a manageable chronic condition. Prevention remains a high priority and the potential to reduce the n...
