Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Duffy-null trait and ethnic netropenia are both highly prevalent in Africa. The influence of pre-seroconversion levels of peripheral blood cell counts (PBCs) on the risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection among Africans is unknown. METHODS: The triangular relationship among pre-seroconversion PBC counts, host genotypes, and risk of HIV acquisition was determined in a...
