Geographic distribution of HIV stigma among women of childbearing age in rural Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014-04-24)Objective(s): HIV stigma is considered to be a major driver of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, yet there is a limited understanding of its occurrence. We describe the geographic patterns of two forms of HIV stigma in a cross-sectional ... -

For protection from HIV-1 infection, more might not be better: a systematic analysis of HIV Gag epitopes of two alleles associated with different outcomes of HIV-1 infection
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2011)A subset of women in the Pumwani Sexworker cohort, established in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya, remains uninfected despite repeated high-risk exposure(HESN) through active sex work. This HESN phenotype is associated with several ... -
A common HLA-DP genotype is associated with resistance to hiv-1 infection in Kenyan sex workers
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2008-10)HLA-DP antigens present peptides to CD4+ T cells and play an important role in parasitic infections and autoimmune diseases, yet their influence on HIV-1 susceptibility has not been well studied. Here, we report several ... -
Cellular immune responses to recurring influenza strains have limited boosting ability and limited cross-reactivity to other strains
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2010-08)Influenza vaccine provides protection against infection with matched strains, and this protection correlates with serum antibody titres. In addition to antibodies, influenza-specific CD8+ T-lymphocyte responses are important ... -
Blunted il17/il22 and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses in the genital tract and blood of HIV-exposed, seronegative female sex workers in Kenya
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2012-08)Background Identifying the immune correlates of reduced susceptibility to HIV remains a key goal for the HIV vaccine field, and individuals who are HIV-exposed, seronegative (HESN) may offer important clues. Reduced ... -
Cohorts for the study of HIV-1—exposed but uninfected individuals: benefits and limitations
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2010)Since the late 1980s, with the first identification of individuals who were exposed to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) yet remained uninfected, or “HIV-1—resistant” individuals, a large number of cohorts that ... -
Multiplex detection of bacteria associated with normal microbiota and with bacterial vaginosis in vaginal swabs by use of oligonucleotide-coupled fluorescent
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2009-12)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a recurrent condition that is associated with a range of negative outcomes, including the acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted diseases, preterm births, and ... -
Epitope cross-reactivity frequently differs between central and effector memory HIV-specific CD8+ t cells1
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2007-03)HIV diversity may limit the breadth of vaccine coverage due to epitope sequence differences between strains. Although amino acid substitutions within CD8+ T cell HIV epitopes can result in complete or partial abrogation ... -
Inflammation and HIV transmission in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2015-04)While the per-contact risk of sexual HIV transmission is relatively low, it is fourfold higher in sub-Saharan Africa, and this may partly explain the major global disparities that exist in HIV prevalence. Genital immune ... -
Evaluation of a quantitative real-time PCR assay to measure HIV-specific mucosal CD8+ T cell responses in the cervix
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2010-10)Several candidate HIV vaccines aim to induce virus-specific cellular immunity particularly in the genital tract, typically the initial site of HIV acquisition. However, standardized and sensitive methods for evaluating ... -
