This study was planned to determine HIV seroprevalence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, to characterize the isolated mycobacteria into typical and atypical strains and to evaluate the drug resistant pattern of mycobacterial isolates. The study aims to correlate multidrug resistance (MDR) and HIV seropositivity status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. During the year 1994-1997, 750 pulmo...

Serum samples (n: 110) from blood donors and high risk individuals from Cordoba, Argentina with indeterminate HIV-1 and HTLV-I/II Wb profiles were studied for specific antibodies to HTLV-I/II and HIV-1 by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and for the presence or absence of HIV-1 and HTLV-I/II specific bands by Wb. This study was carried out in order to characterize their putative reaction...

Abstract Older adults living with HIV (OALWH) may have health conditions that amplify the negative effects of alcohol use. Traditional screening tools do not consider comorbidities or age. We adapted Comorbidity Alcohol Risk Evaluation Tool tool for at-risk drinking to reflect HIV-related and medications. tested a brief intervention Black OALWH collected usability data.
