7. 10. HIV target cells and innate immune factors in the human female genital tract

   Author : Tove Kaldensjö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : World-wide, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission most often takes place in the genital tract during heterosexual intercourse, but the site where HIV most commonly establishes primary infection in the female genital tract remains unknown. Several factors including viral load in the HIV-infected individual, presence of genital infections, genotype and possibly sex hormone levels influence the risk of HIV acquisition. READ MORE
