Donate today and join the fight to achieve global malaria elimination targets.
Together we can make a significant contribution to achieving malaria elimination targets.
Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
Adolescent girls and young women are disproportionately affected by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa where they are up to 8 times more likely to be infected compared to their male counterparts.
A major biological mechanism driving this increased risk is subclinical genital inflammation due to the presence of “non-optimal” vaginal microbiota depleted of beneficial lactobacillus species.
This study will formulate and perform preclinical safety studies of an anti-inflammatory microbiota metabolite for in-vivo evaluation.
