Maternal HIV infection is associated with distinct systemic cytokine profiles throughout pregnancy in South African women

Abstract Maternal HIV infection is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the mechanisms remain unknown. The course of pregnancy is regulated by immunological processes and HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) impact key immune mechanisms, which may disrupt the immune programme of...
