Abstract
Globally, the most frequent route of HIV transmission is through sexual intercourse. In women, sexual transmission of HIV involves cervical, vaginal, endometrial, and rectal mucosal exposure to the virus. Here we describe technical protocols for ex vivo cervical, vaginal, and rectal tissue infection models and cultures that can be used to assess tissue susceptibility to infection under different conditions as well as the potential antiviral efficacy of a treatment for HIV prevention or cure.Entities:
