HIV-associated endometritis

M Peuchmaur et al. AIDS. 1989 Apr.

Abstract

Using immunohistochemical staining, in situ hybridization and a combination of both, we demonstrate here the replication of HIV in the endometrial stroma. Infected cells do not belong to the T-lymphocyte lineage but rather to a monocyte-macrophage cell type. This report suggests a possible relationship between HIV infection and endometritis. Moreover, HIV replication in endometrial tissues could play a role in heterosexual and materno-fetal transmission.
