چکیده
The rain collected and dropped down the windscreen as Zama and I sat in the car talking outside the office where she worked as an HIV treatment literacy facilitator. We had known each other for eight years, but it was only now that she started to tell me how she acquired HIV. As Zama spoke about her younger self and the men she had had sex with without feeling that she could say no, without knowing how to say no, without believing she had the right to enjoy sex, I was struck by the clanging dissonance between the studies I had read and the lives I had subsequently come to know.

In the formation of magnetite nanoparticles via the co-precipitation route, capping agents were introduced pre-, simultaneously with, or post-addition of the precipitating agent, ammonia. The amino acids L-glutamine and L-glutamic acid were used as the capping agents. Characterization via TEM, pXRD, EDX, and...

متن کاملPathway Analysis of miRNA-1 and Its Expres-sion Evaluation in Donor’s Serum from HIV-Positive Individuals vs Unaffected Controls
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules (19-24 nucleotides) that play a major role in a wide range of biological processes through post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Differential expression of miRNAs has been reported in various infectious diseases such as HIV infection. The characterization of miRNA expression profiles, especially in mammalian biofluids, whi...
