Long-term effects of smallpox vaccination on expression of the HIV-1 co-receptor CCR5 in women Open
Among HIV seronegative women, being smallpox vaccinated more than 40 years ago was not associated with a down-regulation of CCR5 receptors on the surface of peripheral T-lymphocytes.

Political instability and supply-side barriers undermine the potential for high participation in HIV testing for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission in Guinea-Bissau: A retrospective cross-sectional study Open
Rapid scale-up of PMTCT HIV testing services and high testing coverage was possible in this resource-limited setting but suffered from regular interruptions, most likely because of test stock-outs. Establishing proper stock management syst…

Soluble Macrophage Mannose Receptor (sCD206/sMR) as a Biomarker in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Open
Macrophages play important roles during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, reflected by changes in macrophage-activation biomarker soluble CD163 (sCD163). Here, we present data on the novel macrophage-activation biomarker solubl…

Increased mortality among HIV infected patients with cryptococcal antigenemia in Guinea-Bissau Open
Cryptococcal antigenemia may precede development of cryptococcal meningitis and death among patients with advanced HIV infection. Among 200 retrospectively and randomly selected ART-naïve patients with CD4 counts < 100 cells/μl from Guinea…

High prevalence and excess mortality of late presenters among HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-1/2 dually infected patients in Guinea-Bissau - a cohort study from West Africa Open
The majority of HIV infected patients presented late. Most of the late-presenters had advanced disease and patients with advanced disease had a very high mortality. Initiatives to enroll patients in care at an earlier point are needed and …

Differential effects of sex in a West African cohort of HIV‐1, HIV‐2 and HIV‐1/2 dually infected patients: men are worse off Open
Objectives Several studies have reported conflicting effects of sex on HIV ‐1 infection. We describe differences in baseline characteristics and assess the impact of sex on HIV progression among patients at a clinic with many HIV‐2 and HIV…

Lack of awareness of treatment failure among HIV‐1‐infected patients in Guinea‐Bissau – a retrospective cohort study Open
Introduction With more people receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART), the need to detect treatment failure and switch to second‐line ART has also increased. We assessed CD4 cell counts (as a marker of treatment failure), determined the r…
