Lower levels of HIV RNA in semen in HIV-2 compared with HIV-1 infection: implications for differences in transmission

20 Mar 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: HIV-2 infection, in comparison with HIV-1, is characterized by lower plasma viral loads, slower CD4 cell count decline, decreased AIDS-related mortality, and lower rates of mother-to-child and sexual transmission. To gain further insight into why HIV-1 is more readily transmitted as compared with HIV-2, we analyzed semen and plasma HIV RNA levels in HIV-1 and HIV-2-positive men from...
