Here we show that expression of the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR) is induced by glucocorticoids in tissue culture cells and by pregnancy in placental and uterine tissue of transgenic mice. We suggest that hormonal stimulation could influence proviral activation and that placental expression of the HIV-LTR could contribute to the high perinatal tranmission rate of HIV.
