Sex Differences in HIV RNA Level and CD4 Cell Percentage During Childhood

12 Aug 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: HIV-infected women have lower HIV RNA levels and higher CD4-cell counts than do men. This observation has been attributed to the immunomodulatory effects of sex steroid hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone. Limited data exist regarding potential sex differences in HIV RNA level and CD4 parameters among prepubertal children with untreated HIV infection. METHODS: We examined the relationship of...
