    Higher sequence diversity in the vaginal tract than in blood at early HIV-1 infection

    This analysis of early mucosal infections in women revealed high HIV-1 viral diversity in the vaginal tract but few transmitted clones in the blood.

The data will have significant implications in rational vaccine design.

    Divergent adherence estimates with pharmacokinetic and behavioural measures in the MTN-003 (VOICE) study

    Accurate product adherence measurements in microbicide/pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) studies is an ongoing challenge. Researchers compared behavioral measures (e.g., self-report, interviews, unused product count) and pharmacokinetic measures among a cohort of VOICE study participants. Despite high adherence indicated in the behavioral measures, pharmacokinetic results demonstrated low adherence. Real-time biological measures to monitor adherence should be implemented in microbicide/PrEP trials to better inform study results.
