Microbial Translocation and Immune Activation in HIV-1 Infected Pregnant Women.

CONCLUSIONS: The degree of IA and MT was similar among HIV+PG and HIV+ non-PG women followed longitudinally. There was no incremental increase due to the combined effects of HIV and pregnancy. Several markers of IA and MT (LPS, 16SrDNA) decreased post ART. IA and MT occurred in a subgroup of HIV-PG women during the 1st trimester. Further study must be done to confirm whether MT consistently occurs in some healthy women during PG. PMID: 30062968 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
