The microbiome in HIV prevention
FY 2018-19
Summary
The microbiome has been associated with increased risk of HIV acquisition, but this has not been studied extensively in the context of HIV prevention technologies, such as antiretroviral based pre-exposure prophylaxis and vaccines. In this study we will evaluate how differences in the microbiome of genital tract and gut affect host inflammation, the effectiveness of these drugs, and immune responses stimulated by HIV vaccines. These studies may help us to improve these products to make them more effective for HIV prevention.
