Cial mechanisms. Connell's theory of gender and power has been shown previously to explain the gender effects in the spread of HIV/AIDS infection [11,12]. Sa and Larsen applied this theory in their study in Moshi, Tanzania, using gender inequality to explain women's risk of HIV infection [12]. In this study, we adopt Connell's theory of gender and power as a theoretical framework to explore and cl

We and others have shown that higher IDO-induced Trp catabolism is involved in the imbalance of Th17/Treg in favour of Treg by stimulation of Treg differentiation in
