Abstract: The immunology and microbiota of the female genital tract (FGT) are key determinants of HIV susceptibility. Cervical cytobrush sampling is a relatively non-invasive method permitting the longitudinal assessment of endocervical immune cells, but effects on… read more here.

Abstract: Biological mechanisms of foreskin HIV acquisition are poorly defined. The inner foreskin is preferentially infected in explant models, so we hypothesized that this site would be enriched for HIV‐susceptible CD4+ T cells and proinflammatory/chemoattractant cytokines. read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aji.13432
Abstract: HIV/AIDS and sexual violence act synergistically and compromise women's health. Yet, immuno‐biological mechanisms linking sexual violence and increased HIV susceptibility are poorly understood. read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40794-019-0097-5
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a leading cause of global morbidity with the highest burden in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). For reasons that are incompletely understood, the likelihood of HIV transmission is several fold higher in… read more here.
