A matter of perspective: Comparison of the characteristics of persons with HIV infection in the United States from the HIV outpatient study, medical monitoring project, and National HIV surveillance system
(Bentham Open, 2015-12-07)Comparative analyses of the characteristics of persons living with HIV infection (PLWH) in the United States (US) captured in surveillance and other observational databases are few. To explore potential joint data use to ... -
A clinical trial to introduce voluntary medical male circumcision for HIV prevention in areas of high prevalence in the Dominican Republic
(Public Library of Science, 2015-09-14)Background: Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) is an effective strategy to reduce the risk of HIV infection. Studies conducted in the Dominican Republic (DR) suggest that acceptability of VMMC among men may be as ... -
In vitro antiretroviral activity and in vivo toxicity of the potential topical microbicide copper phthalocyanine sulfate.
(BioMed Central, 2015-08-30)BACKGROUND: Copper has antimicrobial properties and has been studied for its activity against viruses, including HIV. Copper complexed within a phthalocyanine ring, forming copper (II) phthalocyanine sulfate (CuPcS), may ... -

Disparities in Initiation of Combination Antiretroviral Treatment and in Virologic Suppression Among Patients in the HIV Outpatient Study, 2000-2013.
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015-09-01)OBJECTIVES: The National HIV/AIDS Strategy emphasizes virologic suppression (VS) to reduce HIV incidence in the United States. We assessed temporal trends of and disparities in time to combination antiretroviral therapy ... -
T. vaginalis Infection Is Associated with Increased IL-8 and TNFr1 Levels but with the Absence of CD38 and HLADR Activation in the Cervix of ESN
(Public Library of Science, 2015-06-17)INTRODUCTION: Trichomonas vaginalis infection is associated with an increased risk of HIV infection in exposed-seronegative women (ESN) despite their unique immune quiescent profile. It is important to understand possible ... -

Role of CTR4 in the Virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-10)While research has identified an important contribution for metals, such as iron, in microbial pathogenesis, the roles of other transition metals, such as copper, remain mostly unknown. Recent evidence points to a requirement ... -
Increased mortality among publicly insured participants in the HIV Outpatient Study despite HAART treatment.
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2011-09-24)Objective: Understanding mortality differences among HIV-infected patients can focus efforts to improve survival. Design: We evaluated death rates, causes and associated factors among treated patients in the HOPS, a ... -
A Novel Specificity Protein 1 (SP1)-like Gene Regulating Protein Kinase C-1 (Pkc1)-dependent Cell Wall Integrity and Virulence Factors in Cryptococcus neoformans
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2011-06)Eukaryotic cells utilize complex signaling systems to detect their environments, responding and adapting as new conditions arise during evolution. The basidiomycete fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is a leading cause of ... -
Beneficial Effects of a Switch to a Lopinavir/ritonavir-Containing Regimen for Patients with Partial or No Immune Reconstitution with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Despite Complete Viral Suppression
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2011-06)The purpose of this study was to determine if switching to an Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-containing regimen resulted in greater immune reconstitution in patients with immunologic failure despite complete viral suppression ...
