Implementing microbicides in low-income countries.
(Elsevier., 2012)
The magnitude of the global human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic is determined by women from lower income countries, specifically sub-Saharan Africa. Microbicides offer women who are unable to negotiate safe sex ...

Chest radiograph findings and time to culture conversion in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV in Tugela Ferry, South Africa.
(Plos., 2013)
Background: The majority of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in South Africa are co-infected with HIV, but the radiographic features of MDR-TB and their relationship with time to sputum culture ...
Balancing efficiency, equity and feasibility of HIV treatment in South Africa – development of programmatic guidance.
(BioMed Central., 2013)
South Africa, the country with the largest HIV epidemic worldwide, has been scaling up treatment since 2003 and is rapidly expanding its eligibility criteria. The HIV treatment programme has achieved significant results, ...
Addressing ethical, social, and cultural issues in global health research.
(Plos., 2013)
The purpose of this paper is to encourage reflection among the global health research community and the research ethics community about how a wide range of ethical, social, and cultural (ESC) influences on the conduct, ...
Viral escape from HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies drives increased plasma neutralization breadth through sequential recognition of multiple epitopes and immunotypes.
(Plos., 2013)
Identifying the targets of broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 and understanding how these antibodies develop remain important goals in the quest to rationally develop an HIV-1 vaccine. We previously identified a ...
Ratio of monocytes to lymphocytes in peripheral blood identifies adults at risk of incident tuberculosis among HIV-infected adults initiating antiretroviral therapy.
(Oxford University Press., 2013)
Background. Eight decades ago, the ratio of monocytes to lymphocytes (hereafter, the “ML ratio”) was noted to affect outcomes of mycobacterial infection in rabbits. Recent transcriptomic studies support a role for relative ...
An adaptive design to bridge the gap between phase 2b/3 microbicide effectiveness trials and evidence required for licensure.
(Sage., 2012)
Background. Vaginally and rectally applied microbicides are being developed to
help prevent sexual acquisition of HIV. Due to the lack of surrogate outcomes, the
path toward licensure typically moves directly from expanded ...
Evolution of an HIV glycan–dependent broadly neutralizing antibody epitope through immune escape.
(Nature Publishing Group., 2012)
Neutralizing antibodies are likely to play a crucial part in a preventative HIV-1 vaccine. Although efforts to elicit broadly cross-neutralizing (BCN) antibodies by vaccination have been unsuccessful, a minority of individuals ...
