Post-prostatic massage fluid/urine as an alternative to semen for studying male genitourinary HIV-1 sheddingSusan M Graham
University of Washington, Box 359909, 325 Ninth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 2499, USA
Sex Transm Infect 87:232-7. 2011..Because semen collection is often impractical, the acceptability, feasibility and validity of post-prostatic massage fluid/urine (post-PMF/U) was evaluated for studying male genitourinary HIV-1 shedding...
Genital ulceration does not increase HIV-1 shedding in cervical or vaginal secretions of women taking antiretroviral therapySusan M Graham
University of Washington, Box 359909, 325 Ninth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 2499, USA
Sex Transm Infect 87:114-7. 2011..The effect of GUD on HIV-1 shedding among ART-treated women is not known. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that genital ulcerations increase genital HIV-1-RNA shedding in women receiving ART...
Antiretroviral adherence and development of drug resistance are the strongest predictors of genital HIV-1 shedding among women initiating treatmentSusan M Graham
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98104 2499, USA
J Infect Dis 202:1538-42. 2010..04). These results emphasize the importance of adherence to optimize the potential benefits of ART for reducing HIV-1 transmission risk...
A systematic review of the quality of trials evaluating biomedical HIV prevention interventions shows that many lack powerSusan M Graham
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
HIV Clin Trials 10:413-31. 2009..We aimed to identify, describe, and evaluate the quality of RCTs studying biomedical interventions to prevent HIV acquisition by sexual transmission...

Departments of Medicine, Epidemiology and Global Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98104 2499, USA
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 52:600-3. 2009..To better define this risk, we monitored 134 women at ART initiation and monthly thereafter...
A decrease in albumin in early SIV infection is related to viral pathogenicitySusan M Graham
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98104, USA
AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 25:433-40. 2009..These results suggest that both early and late events in SIV pathogenesis are influenced by properties of the infecting viral strain...
A decrease in albumin in early HIV type 1 infection predicts subsequent disease progressionSusan M Graham
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98104, USA
AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 23:1197-200. 2007..0, p = 0.008). Trends for an increased risk of mortality were also seen. A greater decrease in albumin levels accompanying HIV-1 acquisition may be a marker for changes in early infection associated with more rapid disease progression...
Higher pre-infection vitamin E levels are associated with higher mortality in HIV-1-infected Kenyan women: a prospective studySusan M Graham
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
BMC Infect Dis 7:63. 2007..However, vitamin E supplementation has also been reported to increase CCR5 expression, which could increase HIV-1 replication. We hypothesized that vitamin E levels at HIV-1 acquisition may influence disease progression...

Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
AIDS 24:891-7. 2010..The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that sexual risk behavior would increase following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Kenyan female sex workers (FSWs)...
