Relationship of Oxidative Stress with HIV Disease Progression in HIV/HCV Co-infected and HIV Mono-infected Adults in Miami

Abstract: Abstract-Background: HIV and HCV infections are both characterized by increased oxidative stress. Information on the magnitude of this increase and its consequences in HIV/HCV co-infection and viral replication is limited. We investigated the relationship between oxidative stress and HIV-progression in HIV/HCV co-infected and HIV mono-infected adults.Methods: 106 HIV/HCV co-infected and 115 HIV mono-infected participants provided demographic information and blood to determine 8-oxo-dG and percent oxidized glut… Show more

“…25 The role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of infections and weakened immune system are the area of research that has recently gained momentum. So it is reasonable to assume that presence of a driveline, long-term exposure to high shear stress flow environment as well as artificial blood contacting materials in CF-VADs may have an additive role in accelerating oxidative stress and weakened immune system and infection.…”

“…Similar interaction between oxidative stress and HIV replication has been observed in clinical samples. For example, compared to HIV-infected patients, in HIV/HCV co-infected patients, higher HIV replication was observed in association with diminished antioxidant capacity to counter the oxidative stress ( Shin et al, 2012 ). Likewise, daily supplements of vitamins C and E to HIV patients resulted in reduced levels of markers for oxidative stress and a trend toward decreased viral load ( Allard et al, 1998 ).…”
