The dissemination general information on HCV, HBV risky is not as much importance specific individual infection-related sexual risk behavior. objective was identify HIV/HCV/HBV-related factors have discussed during psych...

  Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...

Background Vertically oriented global health initiatives (GHIs) addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), have successfully contributed to reducing HIV/AIDS related morbidity and mortality. However, there is still debate about whether these disease-specific programs have improved or harmed health systems overall, especially with respect...

conclusions prevalence of hiv/hcv coinfection is considerably low in turkey. the extremely rare prevalence of idu might have a role in this low prevalence. background rate of coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) varies in different countries. this may be attributable to common transmission routes as well as social, economic, and cultural factors. objec...

Indonesia is one of the six countries with a high burden TB and HIV. The prevalence TB-HIV cases at all ages as much 4.9%; study aimed to provide an assessment PITC implementation in coverage low HIV detection among patients. This descriptive, analytic, cross-sectional consecutive sampling method. Data used this research was secondary data collected from January until December 2017 conducted 5 ...

Background Currently the responses of peripheral cytokine-secreting cells in natural course human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) co-infection haven’t been fully elucidated. Methods The function proinflammatory, regulatory cytotoxic were investigated by direct intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) flow cytometry, additionally, absolute numbers different measured among patient...

  Background :The CCR5 is a chemokine receptor that serves as a co-receptor for HIV-1 attachment and entry to T lymphocytes. A 32bp deletion (∆32) in this gene is believed to be associated with resistance to infection and delay disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the ∆32 allele frequency in healthy individuals and HIV-infected individuals with AIDS.   Methods : In this e...
