Helminth-associated systemic immune activation and HIV co-receptor expression: response to albendazole/praziquantel treatment.

Helminth-associated systemic immune activation and HIV co-receptor expression: response to albendazole/praziquantel treatment.

BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesized that helminth infections increase HIV susceptibility by enhancing systemic immune activation and hence contribute to elevated HIV-1 transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE: To study systemic immune activation and HIV-1 co-receptor expression in relation to...
