Journal Article
The Menstrual Cycle Does Not Affect Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Levels in Vaginal Secretions
2002
Overview
To determine whether the menstrual cycle affects human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 levels in vaginal secretions, vaginal lavage samples were collected at 7, 14, and 21 days after initiation of menses, to compare virus levels during the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases. During 33 menstrual cycles in 25 women, HIV-1 RNA levels in vaginal secretions ranged from <1000 to 5.3×107 copies per lavage, and weekly changes ranged from <0.5 to 2.5 log10 copies per lavage. HIV-1 RNA levels in vaginal lavage samples from days 7, 14, and 21 were not significantly different. No discernible pattern was found in changes of vaginal virus loads (VVLs) during the menstrual cycle. VVLs were not correlated with plasma estradiol or progesterone levels (P>.05). These results suggest that hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle do not have a significant effect on HIV-1 RNA levels in vaginal secretions
