Association between Culturable Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) in Semen and HIV-1 RNA Levels in Semen and Blood: Evidence for Compartmentalization of HIV-1 between Semen and Blood
Robert W. Coombs,Carl E. Speck,James P. Hughes,Willa Lee,Reigran Sampoleo,Susan O. Ross,Joan Dragavon,Greg Peterson,Thomas M. Hooton,Ann C. Collier,Lawrence Corey,Laura A. Koutsky,John N. Krieger +12 more
TL;DR: Both qualitative and quantitative virologic measurements were compared between blood and genital compartments for 128 men infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 to address several controversial issues concerning HIV-1 shedding in semen and to obtain further information about the distribution of virus between these two compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of primary first-episode genital herpes simplex virus infections with acyclovir: results of topical, intravenous and oral therapy
Lawrence Corey,Jacqueline Benedetti,Cathy W. Critchlow,Gregory J. Mertz,John M. Douglas,Kenneth H. Fife,Anita Fahnlander,M. L. Remington,C. Winter,Joan Dragavon +9 more
TL;DR: The placebo-controlled evaluations indicate that, if given within the first 7 days after the onset of lesions, topical, intravenous and oral acyclovir are useful in shortening the course of first-episode primary genital herpes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Adults Aged 27 Years or Older: AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol A5298
Timothy J. Wilkin,Huichao Chen,Michelle S. Cespedes,Jorge Leon-Cruz,Catherine Godfrey,Elizabeth Y. Chiao,Barbara Bastow,Jennifer Webster-Cyriaque,Qinghua Feng,Joan Dragavon,Robert W. Coombs,Rachel M. Presti,Alfred J. Saah,Ross D. Cranston +13 more
TL;DR: The results do not support HPV vaccination of HIV-infected adults aged ≥27 years to prevent new anal HPV infections or to improve anal HSIL outcomes, but the data suggest a role for prevention of oral HPV infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of oral preexposure prophylaxis on the progression of HIV-1 seroconversion.
Deborah Donnell,Eric M. Ramos,Connie Celum,Jared M. Baeten,Joan Dragavon,Jordan W. Tappero,Jairam R. Lingappa,Allan R. Ronald,Kenneth H. Fife,Robert W. Coombs +9 more
TL;DR: O Ongoing PrEP use in seroconverters may delay detection of infection and elongate seroconversion, although the delay does not increase risk of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation and verification of the Abbott RealTime SARS-CoV-2 assay analytical and clinical performance.
Emily J. Degli-Angeli,Joan Dragavon,Meei Li Huang,Danijela Lucic,Gavin Cloherty,Keith R. Jerome,Alexander L. Greninger,Robert W. Coombs +7 more
TL;DR: The RealTime SARS-CoV-2 assay had high sensitivity (93%) and specificity (100%) for detecting Sars-Cov-2 in clinical samples and is acceptable for clinical use with the high-throughput, fully automated m2000 system.
