Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of infant-feeding patterns on early mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 in Durban, South Africa: a prospective cohort study
TL;DR: If the findings are confirmed, exclusive breastfeeding may offer HIV-1-infected women in developing countries an affordable, culturally acceptable, and effective means of reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV- 1 while maintaining the overwhelming benefits of breastfeeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Papillomavirus Infection in Women Infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Xiao-Wei Sun,Louise Kuhn,Tedd V. Ellerbrock,Mary Ann Chiasson,Timothy J. Bush,Thomas C. Wright +5 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that among women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there is a high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, and persistent HPV infections may explain the increased risk of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and invasive cervical cancer in HIV-seropositive women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method of feeding and transmission of HIV-1 from mothers to children by 15 months of age: prospective cohort study from Durban South Africa.
Anna Coutsoudis,Kubendran Pillay,Louise Kuhn,Elizabeth Spooner,Wei-Yann Tsai,Hoosen M. Coovadia +5 more
TL;DR: Infants exclusively breastfed for 3 months or more had no excess risk of HIV infection over 6 months than those never breastfed, and these findings can influence public health policies on feeding choices available to HIV-infected mothers in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
HPV DNA Testing of Self-collected Vaginal Samples Compared With Cytologic Screening to Detect Cervical Cancer
TL;DR: Results indicate that HPV testing of self-collected vaginal swabs is less specific than but as sensitive as Papanicolaou smears for detecting high-grade cervical disease in women aged 35 years and older, and HPV testing offers an important new way to increase screening in settings where cytology is not readily performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Policy analysis of cervical cancer screening strategies in low-resource settings: clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness.
TL;DR: Cervical cancer screening strategies that incorporate DVI or HPV DNA testing and eliminate colposcopy may offer attractive alternatives to cytology-based screening programs in low-resource settings.
