Prevalence of HIV and HCV infections in two populations of Malian women and serological assays performances.
Nouhoum Bouare,Dolores Vaira,André Gothot,Jean Delwaide,Sébastien Bontems,Laurence Seidel,Paul Gerard,Christiane Gerard +7 more
TL;DR: HIV prevalence was similar in both subpopulations HCV was more frequent among older women (P < 0.01) and the PPV of screening assays varied with the age of the subjects.

Virological response, HIV-1 drug resistance mutations and genetic diversity among patients on first-line antiretroviral therapy in N’Djamena, Chad: findings from a cross-sectional study

TL;DR: In Chad, almost half of patients are failing first-line antiretroviral therapy after 5 years, with considerable drug resistant mutations at failure, and absence of K65R supports the use of tenofovir-containing regimens as preferred first- line and as suitable drug for second-line combinations, in this setting with significant HIV-1 genetic diversity.
Detectability of HIV Residual Viremia despite Therapy Is Highly Associated with Treatment with a Protease Inhibitor-Based Combination Antiretroviral Therapy.
Gilles Darcis,Nathalie Maes,Alexander O. Pasternak,Anne-Sophie Sauvage,Frédéric Frippiat,Christelle Meuris,Françoise Uurlings,Marianne Lecomte,Philippe Leonard,Majdouline Elmoussaoui,Karine Fombellida,Dolores Vaira,Michel Moutschen +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that a PI-based treatment regimen is highly associated with an increased frequency of RV, supporting previous evidence suggesting that PI- based cART regimens could favor ongoing viral replication in some individuals.

Performance of the VERSANT® HIV-1 Resistance Assays (LiPA) for detecting drug resistance in therapy-naive patients infected with different HIV-1 subtypes
Inge Derdelinckx,Kristel Van Laethem,Baert Maes,Yoeri Schrooten,Kirsten De Schouwer,Stéphane De Wit,Katrien Fransen,Sergio García Ribas,Michel Moutschen,Dolores Vaira,Georges Zissis,Marc Van Ranst,Eric Van Wijngaerden,Anne-Mieke Vandamme +13 more
TL;DR: The results with population sequencing found concordance to be in line with previous studies in treatment-experienced patients and indeterminate reactions were significantly associated with strains belonging to non-B subtypes.

Exploring the link between innate immune activation and thymic function by measuring sCD14 and TRECs in HIV patients living in Belgium.
Adrien De Voeght,Henri Martens,Chantal Renard,Dolores Vaira,Mathieu Debruche,Julie Simonet,Vincent Geenen,Michel Moutschen,Gilles Darcis +8 more
TL;DR: A statistically relevant negative correlation between thymopoiesis (sjTREC) and sCD14 level is found and it is suggested a link betweenThymic function failure, microbial translocation and innate immune activation is suggested.
