Relationship between microbial translocation and endothelial function in HIV infected patients.
<h4>Background</h4>Circulating levels of microbial products are increased in HIV infection, and provoke endothelial dysfunction in other disease settings.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>We examined data from a cross-sectional single site study at Indiana University (In...
