Abstract:Background
There is a widespread co-infection of HIV and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) globally, particularly in developing countries, and it has been suggested that this co-infection may affect the course of HIV disease. However, the interplay between H. pylori infection and HIV disease progression is not fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of H. pylori co-infection on CD4+ T cell count and HIV viral load dynamics in HIV-positive individuals in a high co-endemic setti… Show more
