Association between use of the progestin Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate and Female Cervicovaginal Lavage Proinflammatory Cytokines among HIV-1 and HSV-2 co-infected African women: a case control study

Edwin Walong, Christopher Gontier, Walter Jaoko, Elizabeth Bukusi

This study finds that DMPA use in HIV-positive women is associated with reduced proinflammatory cytokines and increased IL-10 in cervicovaginal lavage, potentially explaining increased HIV transmission.
