HIV‐1 Imposes Rigidity on Blood and Semen Cytokine Networks

Although it is established that the levels of individual cytokines are altered by HIV‐1 infection, the changes in cytokine interrelations that organize them into networks have been poorly studied. Here, we evaluated these networks in HIV‐infected and HIV‐uninfected individuals in fluid compartments that are critical for HIV‐1 pathogenesis and transmission, namely blood and semen.
