Publication Abstract Display | Type: Poster | Title: Genital CMV Shedding Predicts Syphilis Acquisition in HIV Infected MSM on ART. | Authors: Gianella S, Smith D, Daar E, Dube M, Lisco A, Margolis L, Vanpouille C, Haubrich R, Morris S, and the CCTG 592 Team | Date: 02-23-2015 | Abstract:Conclusions:
This prospective study demonstrated that CMV shedding in
semen is associated with syphilis acquisition, but not other STI.
CMV-associated decrease in seminal MCP-1 levels might
predispose MSM to syphilis acquisition.
Future studies should determine underlying mechanisms and if
a causal association exists. |
