Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of PCR and standard cytological staining for detection of Pneumocystis carinii from respiratory specimens from patients with or at high risk for infection by human immunodeficiency virus.

TL;DR: The ability of PCR to detect a low parasitic load suggests that this technique may become an important additional tool, along with current cytological methods, for the detection of P. carinii in this clinical setting and in the evaluation of sputum specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation of HIV Testing at 2 New York City Bathhouses: From Pilot to Clinical Service

TL;DR: Bathhouse-based testing for HIV infection can be implemented in New York City and would include a population of MSM who are at high risk for HIV infections, which may be a good strategy to reduce the forward transmission of HIV in this highly sexually active population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytomegalovirus infection in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected children.

TL;DR: Symptomatic CMV disease occurred in young CMV-coinfected children with low CD4+ lymphocytes and elevated HIV p24 antigen concentrations, and whether progressive immunodeficiency allows the emergence ofCMV disease or CMV infection causes more rapidly progressive HIV-1 disease remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 with maternal viremia and lymphocyte phenotypes

TL;DR: Increased viremia was present in mothers who transmitted HIV to their offspring, and this variable could be used to select women at highest risk of transmitting HIV to the offspring for treatment to decrease the HIV burden five-fold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic abnormalities and viral replication are associated with biomarkers of vascular dysfunction in HIV-infected children.

TL;DR: Levels of biomarkers of vascular dysfunction in HIV‐infected children (with and without hyperlipidaemia) are compared with those in HIV-exposed, uninfected children enrolled in the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS), and factors associated with these biomarkers are determined.
