Medroxyprogesterone acetate mediated alteration in the vaginal microbiota and microenvironment in a Kenyan sex worker cohort

2018-12-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Abstract:</h4> The hormonal contraceptive Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) is associated with increased risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), via incompletely understood mechanisms. Increased diversity in the vaginal microbiota modulates genital inflammation and is associated with increased HIV-1 acquisition. However, the effect of MPA on diversity of the vaginal microbiota is relatively unknown. In a...
