The incubation period of acute retroviral syndrome as a multistep process

Article Abstract:

The durations of IncARS duration between health care workers (HCWs) accidentally infected by HIV and individuals infected by other routes is compared using a non-parametric survival model and this model is used to suggest pathogenic hypotheses based on the model that best fitted the data. It is suggested that a multistep model adequately describes the course of IncARS.

Signal-boosted qualitative ultrasensitive p24 antigen assay for diagnosis of subtype C HIV-1 infection in infants under the age of 2 years

Article Abstract:

An alternative method, the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, which is based on qualitative ultrasensitive p24 antigen assay, is used for the diagnosis of subtype C HIV-1 infection in infants under the age of 2 years. The assay showed a sensitivity of 96.7% for detection of HIV-1 infection among infants aged 0-18 months of age with a specificity of 96.1%.

Mortality and morbidity among postpartum HIV-positive and HIV-negative women in Zimbabwe: Risk factors, causes and impact of single-dose postpartum Vitamin A supplementation

Article Abstract:

The effects of Vitamin A and HIV status on mortality, health care utilization, and serum retinol were evaluated. Single-dose postpartum vitamin A supplementation had no effect on maternal mortality, probably because vitamin A status was adequate in HIV-negative women and apparently unresponsive to supplementation in HIV-positive women.
