It also canvasses issues that will affect translation of these global guidelines into practice. The first global HCV guidelines relea...
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of HIV and related risk behaviours among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Iran. METHODS We conducted a national cross-sectional bio-behavioural surveillance survey between March and July 2010, interviewing male PWID from a geographically dispersed sample through a facility-based sampling method. RESULTS We recruited 2480, and tested 2290 PWID. The overal...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We characterize the burden of liver disease in a cohort of PWID in Chennai, India, with a high prevalence of HCV. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1,042 PWID were sampled through community outreach in Chennai. Participants underwent fasting blood draw, questionnaire and an examination that included liver stiffness assessment using transient elastography (Fibroscan) and assessmen...
BACKGROUND HIV prevalence among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Ukraine is among the highest in the world. In this study, we aimed to assess whether a social network intervention was superior to HIV testing and counselling in affecting HIV incidence among PWID. Although this was not the primary aim of the study, it is associated with reducing drug and sex risk behaviours, which were primary a...
Background and aims: Natural killer T (NKT) cells represent a subset of immune cells that share characteristics of the innate and adaptive immunity. Invariant NKT cells recognize glycolipid antigens such as α galactosylceramide (αGalCer) presented by the non classical MHC molecule CD1d. Decreased NKT cell frequencies have been reported in chronically HCV infected patients, however, contradictin...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS People who inject drugs (PWID) experience high incarceration rates, and previous incarceration is associated with elevated hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission risk. In Scotland, national survey data indicate lower HCV incidence in prison than the community (4.3 versus 7.3 per 100 person-years), but a 2.3-fold elevated transmission risk among recently released (< 6 months) P...
Abstract Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–tuberculosis (TB) coinfection is a worldwide problem and subject of concern, being associated with high mortality risk complications.
