Co-pathogens that threaten the fetus during gestation, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), may contribute to mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1. We show that HCMV infection of placental macrophages may promote HIV replication and transmission as a consequence of inflammation and inhibition of intrinsic antiviral responses.
