Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Viral load is a determinant of HIV-1 progression and transmission. Iron status and the phenotype of haptoglobin, a heme-binding acute phase reactant, may be determinants of viral load. We aimed to describe the effect of iron status, haptoglobin phenotype (Hp), and other predictors on HIV-1 viral load. METHODS: Based on a cross-sectional study among 1669 antenatal care attenders (22-35 weeks) in...
