Journal ArticleDOI
Viruses in the mammalian male genital tract and their effects on the reproductive system.
Nathalie Dejucq,Bernard Jégou +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses attention on the fact that the interface between endocrinology and virology has so far been poorly explored, particularly when major health, social and economical problems are posed, and highlights the research strategies that need to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent observations on HIV type-1 infection in the genital tract of men and women.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the genital and systemic factors that define the infectiousness of HIV and susceptibility to sexual transmission, including virological, microbiological and immunological parameters that affect HIV-1 pathogenesis and transmission.
Journal Article
Central nervous system complications in HIV disease: HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder.
TL;DR: Available data indicate that regimens with higher CPE scores are associated with lower HIV RNA levels in CSF and improvement in neurocognitive functioning, and increasing data on pharmacokinetics of antiretrovirals in cerebrospinal fluid has permitted formulation of central nervous system penetration-effectiveness rankings for single drugs and combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of sperm washing in HIV-1-serodiscordant couples where the male is infected: results from the European CREAThE network.
Louis Bujan,Lital Hollander,Mathieu Coudert,Carole Gilling-Smith,Alexandra Vucetich,Juliette Guibert,Pietro Vernazza,Jeanine Ohl,Michael Weigel,Yvon Englert,Augusto E. Semprini +10 more
TL;DR: The view that assisted reproduction with sperm washing could not be denied to serodiscordant couples in developed countries and, where possible, could perhaps be integrated into a global public health initiative against HIV in developing countries is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for the management of HIV infection in pregnant women and the prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV
D Hawkins,M. Blott,P. Clayden,A de Ruiter,G. Foster,C. Gilling-Smith,B. Gosrani,H. Lyall,Danielle Mercey,Marie-Louise Newell,Siobhan O'Shea,Richard P. Smith,J. Sunderland,Charles E. Wood,Graham P. Taylor +14 more
TL;DR: These guidelines give up-to-date information on interventions to reduce the risk of mother to child transmission of HIV, and rely heavily on ‘expert opinion’ in addressing many common and/or difficult clinical scenarios in the absence of ‘best evidence’.

1993 Revised Classification System for HIV Infection and Expanded Surveillance Case Definition for AIDS Among Adolescents and Adults
Kenneth G. Castro,John W. Ward,Laurence Slutsker,James W. Buehler,Harold W. Jaffe,Ruth L. Berkelman,James Curran +6 more
TL;DR: The classification system for HIV infection is revised to emphasize the clinical importance of the CD4+ T-lymphocyte count in the categorization of HIV-related clinical conditions and the AIDS surveillance case definition is expanded.
