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.

Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is associated with increased Peripheral blood CD 3 and CD 4 T-Lymphocyte Counts among ART-Naive women living with HIV

Edwin Walong, Anne Barasa, Christopher Gontier

This study finds that depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is associated with higher median CD3 and CD4 T-lymphocyte counts in ART-naive HIV-positive women compared to non-users.
