BACKGROUND In 1998 Libya experienced a major outbreak of multiple blood borne viral hepatitis and HIV infections. Since then, no studies have been done on the epidemic features and risk factors of HBV, HCV, HIV and co-infection among the general population. METHODS A prospective study was carried out using a multi-centre clustering method to collect samples from the general population. The pa...
OBJECTIVE To determine factors associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in a high-risk patient population. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of a retrospective cohort study. METHODS One-hundred patients at an inner city HIV clinic in 2008 were reviewed. The atherosclerotic vascular disease risk score was calculated using the Pooled Cohort Equation. Chi-square test w...
Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is more prevalent than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, but more public health resources are allocated to HIV than to HCV. Given shared risk factors and epidemiology, we compared accuracy of health beliefs about HIV and HCV in an at-risk community. Between 2002 and 2003, we surveyed a random patient sample at a primary care clinic ...
BACKGROUND Progression of liver-related disease is accelerated in individuals coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Because the life expectancy of HIV-infected drug users (DUs) improved after the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HCV-related death is likely to become more important. To disentangle the effects of HCV and HIV, we compared the overall and c...
In the course of a prospective study of the prevalence and incidence of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and risk factors for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome among 961 homosexual men, 97 initially HIV antibody seronegative men reported a febrile period lasting at least three days. In 60 of these men serological evidence for an infection was found: influenza A or B v...
Introdution: In recent years, due to the HIV epidemic in Iran and the world, despite the scientific advances in drug therapy, HIV is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. The present study was conducted with the aim of the mortality rate caused by HIV patients in Yazd during the years 2002 to 2015. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on all cases of HIV-infected pa...
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on factors associated with HIV-RNA viral load (VL) among antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve key populations in concentrated epidemics. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1211 adult ART-naïve patients at 19 HIV clinics in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Data collection included a standardised questionnaire, routine laboratory testing, hep...
BACKGROUND There are few recent studies of incident hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in the United States. METHODS We studied HIV Outpatient Study (HOPS) participants seen in 9 HIV-specialty clinics who had ≥1 clinical encounter during 2000-2013 and ≥2 HCV-related tests, the first of which was a negative HCV antibody test (Ab). Hepat...
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and/or hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has a greater risk of mortality than either HCV or HBV infection alone and is frequently associated with hepatitis flares after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 287 HIV-positive persons coinfected with HBV and/or HCV...
Improved survival due to success of highly active anti retroviral therapy (HAART) has enabled chronic viral hepatitis to become a major source of co-morbidity in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected population. Presently Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co infection prevalence is unknown in central India, so we evaluated HBV and HCV ...
