CD4+T Cell Responses in HIV‐Exposed Seronegative Women Are Qualitatively Distinct from Those in HIV‐Infected Women

10 Dec 2004

The immune response of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed seronegative (ESN) women may be qualitatively different from that in those infected with HIV (HIV(+)). In a cohort of female commercial sex workers in Nairobi, Kenya, we found significantly lower (P< or =.01) levels of CD4(+)-specific immune activation and apoptosis in the ESN women compared with those in the HIV(+) women.
