Abstract
- The sickle cell trait-asymptomatic carriage is frequent in people originating from sub-Saharan Africa. Several host factors (including sickle cell anemia) have been previously reported to act upon the course of HIV disease. We studied the progression of infection in a cohort of African patients heterozygous for the sickle hemoglobin gene and harboring normal hemoglobin genes. No significant difference was evidenced between the two groups from this preliminary study.
