Patients’ readiness to start highly active antiretroviral treatment for HIV.
(BMJ publishing group., 2005)
Assessing whether patients are ready to start antiretroviral treatment may improve HIV prevention and treatment outcomes.
HIV-Selectest enzyme immunoassay and rapid test: ability to detect seroconversion following HIV-1 infection.
(American Society for Microbiology., 2009)
HIV-Selectest is a serodiagnostic enzyme immunoassay (EIA), containing p6 and gp41 peptides, designed to differentiate between vaccine-induced antibodies and true infections. A rapid test version of the HIV-Selectest was ...
Rifampicin mono-resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa : A significant phenomenon in a high prevalence TB-HIV region.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Setting: The dual epidemics of HIV-TB including MDR-TB are major contributors to high morbidity and mortality rates in
South Africa. Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is regarded as a proxy for MDR-TB. Currently available ...
Rapid, complex adaption of transmitted HIV-1 full-length genomes in subtype C-infected individuals with differing disease progression.
(Wolters Kluwer Health., 2013)
Objective(s): There is limited information on full-length genome sequences and the
early evolution of transmitted HIV-1 subtype C viruses, which constitute the majority of
viruses spread in Africa. The purpose of this ...

Enrolling adolescents in research on HIV and other sensitive Issues: lessons from South Africa.
(Plos., 2006)
The article discusses the challenge of enrolling adolescents in HIV studies in South Africa. It is practically impossible in some instances to seek parental consent or to determine who, if anyone, is the legal guardian to ...
Differential impact of magnitude, polyfunctional capacity, and specificity of HIV-specific CD8+ T cell responses on HIV set point.
(American Society for Microbiology., 2014)
Defining the characteristics of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cell responses that lead to viral control is crucial for vaccine development. We evaluated the differential impact of magnitude, polyfunctional capacity, and specificity ...
Decreased incidence of dual infections in South African subtype C-infected women compared to a cohort ten years earlier.
(Mary Ann Liebert., 2011)
Previously, we determined the incidence of dual infections in a South African cohort and its association with higher viral setpoint. Ten years later, we compare the incidence and impact of dual infections at transmission ...
Innate antibacterial activity in female genital tract secretions is associated with increased risk of HIV acquisition.
