1. On HIV-1 latency and viral reservoirs
Abstract : HIV-1 establishes a latent infection that is inaccessible to treatment in cellular and anatomical reservoirs. This thesis concerns several problematic issues of HIV-1 persistence, including ways to measure and monitor both the virus at low viral concentrations and the depletion of the reservoir. READ MORE

2. Studies on genital ulcer disease in Tanzania. Aetiology with special reference to Haemophilus ducreyi, association with human immunodeficiecy virus infection, and human papilloma virus
Abstract : Genital ulcer diseases (GUD) caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, Treponema pallidum and herpessimplex type 2 (HSV-2) are an important health problem in many developing countries. Ulcerativesexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been associated with increased acquisition andtransmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). READ MORE

3. HIV therapies : from health-related quality of life to DNA levels
Abstract : The treatment of people infected with HIV was revolutionised with the introduction of protease inhibitor based antiretroviral combination therapy. The therapy has greatly reduced the incidence of AIDS and AIDS-related mortality in the industrialised world. READ MORE

4. Reverse Transcriptase Activity Assays for Retrovirus Quantitation and Characterization
Abstract : Reverse transcriptase (RT) is a crucial enzyme for retrovirus replication, and its presence in the virion is indispensable for infectivity. This thesis illustrates the use of RT activity assays as tools for quantitation and characterization of different retroviruses, particularly HIV. READ MORE

5. Regulation of HIV-1 provirus transcription
Abstract : Transcription of the HIV-genome is regulated by the interaction of viral long terminal repeat (LTR) cis-acting sequences with a complex of viral regulatory proteins and cellular transcription factors. The complex interplay between the cellular-, and/or viral proteins and LTR of different subtypes may play a role in the control of HIV-1 latency versus activation. READ MORE
