Free radical formation from organic hydroperoxides in isolated human polymorphonuclear neutrophils
TL;DR: It is demonstrated with EPR that organic hydroperoxides are decomposed to free radicals by both human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and purified myeloperoxidase and the finding of the free radical formation derived from organic hydroPeroxides by PMNs may be related to the cytotoxicity of this class of compounds.
Journal Article
Amplified transmission of HIV-1: missing link in the HIV pandemic.
TL;DR: Recognizing the increased number of subjects with unrecognized acute HIV infection in STD clinics, studies in STD Clinics in Malawi and South Africa found 563 people with undiagnosed HIV infection.

Journal ArticleDOI
Biological correlates of sexual transmission of HIV: Practical consequences and potential targets for public health
TL;DR: Interventions that reduce the genital shedding of HIV by reducing systemic blood viral load and/or local inflammatory processes are likely to have a beneficial impact on HIV incidence and biological data about HIV transmission must be used to inform public health policies and optimize HIV prevention strategies.
