HIV-associated penile anaerobes disrupt epithelial barrier integrity Open
Specific anaerobic taxa within the penile microbiome—the Bacteria Associated with Seroconversion, Inflammation and Immune Cells (BASIC) species—enhance HIV-1 susceptibility, in part by recruiting susceptible cells to the inner foreskin. Ho…

Impact of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> Infection on the Gut Microbiome and Hepatitis B Vaccine Immune Response in Fishing Communities of Lake Victoria, Uganda Open
Objective: Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni) infection is endemic in fishing communities. We investigated its potential impact on Hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine responses and its role in mediating the association between the gut microbiome and…

Effect of cryopreservation on CD4+ T cell subsets in foreskin tissue Open
Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) reduces HIV acquisition by at least 60%, but the determinants of HIV susceptibility in foreskin tissues are incompletely understood. Flow cytometry is a powerful tool that helps us understand tiss…

Schistosoma mansoni infection alters the host pre-vaccination environment resulting in blunted Hepatitis B vaccination immune responses Open
Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms of the Schistosoma spp ., and is increasingly recognized to alter the immune system, and the potential to respond to vaccines. The impact of endemic infections on protective immuni…

Field Performance of PIMA Point-of-Care Machine for CD4 Enumeration Under a Mobile HIV Counseling and Testing Program in Remote Fishing Communities of Lake Victoria, Uganda Open
Uganda is among the most HIV/AIDS-afflicted countries, and many HIV-infected persons live in remote areas with poor access to health care. The success of HIV care programs relies in part on patient monitoring using CD4 T cell counts. We co…

THE RESULTS OF THE EV06 DNA-PROTEIN COMBINATION TRIAL AND PLANS FOR GREAT, AN EDCTP2-FUNDED CONSERVED-MOSAIC EPITOPE HIV VACCINE TRIAL Open
Background These two trials under Europe-Africa collaborations aim at addressing two factors relevant for Africa i.e helminth infections and HIV-1 diversity. EV06 used a novel combination of DNA expressing clade C Env, Gag and Pol-nef co-a…
