Does selective intestinal decontamination with norfloxacin enhance a regulatory T cell-mediated inflammatory control mechanism in cirrhosis?

We reported the HIV-1 incidence estimates obtained from the IgG-capture BED-enzyme immunoassay (BED-CEIA) method in the RTA conscripts sero-surveillance population. The incidence estimates were ranging from 0.14% - 0.20%/year between November 2005 and November 2006. The estimates could serve as the recent baseline information for future HIV prevention interventions in Thailand.
