Journal ArticleDOI

Melanie C. Bacon,Viktor von Wyl,Christine Alden,Gerald B. Sharp,Esther Robison,Nancy A. Hessol,Stephen J. Gange,Yvonne Barranday,Susan Holman,Kathleen M. Weber,Mary Young +10 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this report is to update researchers on the progress of the WIHS and to provide information on WIHS resources, the methods by which they were obtained, and background for any new potential researchers interested in conducting collaborative research through shared use of these resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse in HIV-infected women and women at risk for HIV.
Mardge H. Cohen,Catherine Deamant,Susan E. Barkan,Jean L. Richardson,Mary Young,Susan Holman,Kathryn Anastos,Judith B. Cohen,Sandra Melnick +8 more
TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis of a continuum of risk, with early childhood abuse leading to later domestic violence, which may increase the risk of behaviors leading to HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mother-to-infant transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1: association with prematurity or low anti-gp120.
James J. Goedert,James E. Drummond,Howard Minkoff,Roy W. Stevens,William A. Blattner,Hermann Mendez,Marjorie Robert-Guroff,Susan Holman,Arye Rubinstein,Anne Willoughby,Sheldon Landesman +10 more
TL;DR: Mothers of uninfected full-term infants appear to confer immunological protection against HIV-1 infection of their offspring by way of a high-affinity antibody to a gp120 epitope, whose specificity has importance for vaccine development and possibly perinatal immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
HTLV-III infection among health care workers. Association with needle-stick injuries.
Stanley H. Weiss,W. Carl Saxinger,David J. Rechtman,Michael H. Grieco,Jeffrey P. Nadler,Susan Holman,Harold M. Ginzburg,Jerome E. Groopman,James J. Goedert,Phillip D. Markham,Robert C. Gallo,William A. Blattner,Sheldon Landesman +12 more
TL;DR: The identification of seropositive health care providers from known risk groups point to the need for thorough case investigation to identify routes of exposure in health care workers, and medical personnel should be trained systematically in the proper techniques and handling of instruments for phlebotomy and similar procedures to decrease occupational exposure to HTLV-III.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serosurvey of human immunodeficiency virus infection in parturients. Implications for human immunodeficiency virus testing programs of pregnant women.
TL;DR: The data suggest that HIV infection of inner-city parturients is a significant problem that warrants broadly implemented health strategies and that if risk factor information elicited by physicians is used to initiate HIV antibody counseling and testing of pregnant women, a significant number of seropositive parturient is missed.
