TL;DR: Syphilis infection was associated with significant increases in the HIV viral load and significant decreases in the CD4 cell count, and the findings underscore the importance of preventing and promptly treating syphilis in HIV-infected individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichomonas vaginalis, HIV, and African-Americans.
TL;DR: T. vaginalis is highly prevalent among African-Americans in major urban centers of the United States and is often the most common sexually transmitted infection in black women, which could translate into an important amplifying effect since Trichomonas is so common.
