Anaerobe‐Driven Inflammation and Epithelial Barrier Disruption in Genital HIV Acquisition

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Genital microbiome dysbiosis is an important risk factor for the sexual acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in both the male and female genital tracts. The vaginal, penile and urethral mucosae are distinct microenvironments with characteristic microbiome compositions.

Innate Immunity and Microbial Recognition in Reproduction: From Barrier Defense to Maternal–Fetal Tolerance

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Graphical abstract illustrating the barrier defense–tolerance framework of reproductive innate immunity. Across the female and male reproductive tracts and the maternal–fetal interface, epithelial barriers, innate sensors, immune cells, and microbial signals are integrated to preserve reproductive homeostasis.
