Objective An increasing number of countries have been estimating the distribution new adult HIV infections by modes transmission (MOT) to help prioritise prevention efforts. We compare results from studies conducted between 2008 and 2012 discuss their use for planning responding epidemic. Methods The UNAIDS recommended MOT model helps estimate proportion that occur through key including sex work, injecting drug (IDU), men having with (MSM), multiple sexual partnerships, stable relationships...
HIV cross-sectional studies were conducted among high-risk populations in 9 countries of South America. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay screening and Western blot confirmatory testing performed, env heteroduplex mobility genotyping DNA sequencing performed on a subset HIV-positive subjects. prevalences highest men who have sex with (MSM; 2.0%-27.8%) found to be associated multiple partners, noninjection drug use (non-IDU), sexually transmitted infections (STIs). By comparison, much lower...
The modes of transmission model has been widely used to help decision-makers target measures for preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. estimates the number new HIV infections that will be acquired over ensuing year by individuals in identified risk groups a given population using data on size groups, aggregate behaviour each group, current prevalence infection among sexual or injecting drug partners and probability associated with different behaviours. strength is its...
The potential risk of acquiring a transfusion-transmitted infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) virus, C (HCV) or Trypanosoma cruzi was estimated for seven South American and five Central countries during period 1994-1997. estimates were based on official national reports number donors, blood screening coverage, prevalence serologic markers infectious diseases. Coverage in 1997 100% 12 11 HIV HBV respectively. Complete HCV reported only one country 1994 six...
Injection drug use is the main mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission in Argentina (40% reported AIDS cases Argentina). This study was conducted among street-recruited injection users (IDUs) from Buenos Aires, with aim estimating seroprevalence and coinfection HIV, hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV), T-lymphotropic viruses (HTLVs). A total 174 volunteers participated this study; 137 were men (78.7% volunteers). The average age participants 30 years. Only 64 (37%) had no viral...
HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) are two widespread highly successful microbes whose synergy in pathogenesis has created a significant threat for human health globally. In acknowledgement of this fact, the European Union (EU) funded multinational support action, Network global cooperation field AIDS TB (EUCO-Net), that brings together experts from Europe those regions bear highest burden HIV/MTB co-infection. Here, we summarise main outcome EUCO-Net project derived an expert group...
Aim To investigate the factors associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among non-injecting cocaine users (NICUs) and to compare practices HCV HIV infection. Design An intercountry cross-sectional study. Setting Buenos Aires Montevideo metropolitan areas. Participants A total of 871 NICUs. Measurements NICUs were interviewed their blood was drawn used for HCV, HIV, HBV surface antigen (HbsAg), HB-anticore Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VRDL) antibody assays. Bivariate...
A retrospective analysis of deaths registered in the Brazilian Mortality System was conducted to quantify under-reporting HIV/AIDS and those misclassified AIDS-related conditions 15-49 years old population Brazil.Death rates for diseases were calculated by age sex 1985-2009. Changes age-sex-specific death over time used identify likely be AIDS corresponding number deaths. Deaths due ill-defined causes redistributed across all other natural death. The resulting total further adjusted...
To estimate HIV incidence in the adult population of Peru, 2010, and analyze its distribution based on risk behavior.The UNAIDS model was applied modes transmission (MoT). The information obtained from review detailed 59 documents (1984 - 2008). National databases were also analyzed to obtain specific data. Final selection data validated by technical group a experts. After consultation with experts, values corrected an uncertainty analysis conducted. adjusted 2009 national prevalence...
Las enfermedades de transmision sexual (ETS) constituyen un problema salud publica con importantes consecuencias y secuelas que incluyen la enfermedad inflamatoria pelvica, infertilidad, el carcinoma cervical los desenlaces adversos del embarazo. En ultima decada, estrecha asociacion entre presencia ETS aumento riesgo virus inmunodeficiencia humana ha renovado interes por prevencion control las ETS. Sin embargo, en America Latina Caribe, informacion epidemiologica sobre magnitud es escasa y,...

Following the invasion of Russian Federation on Ukraine 24th February 2022, Poland has received an unprecedented influx refugees. Statistics and World Health Organization (WHO) immediately recognized urgent need for reliable data health needs refugees barriers relating to their access medical care, which would enable effective response situation. The sudden surge in healthcare demand caused by those fleeing war required targeted interventions ensure well-being both Polish population. aim...
The aim is to estimate HBV prevalence and the associated risks among noninjecting cocaine users (NICUs). In 2002-2003, a total of 824 NICUs from Buenos Aires (Argentina) Montevideo (Uruguay) were interviewed using structured questionnaire. Serologic tests carried out for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), syphilis, others. population was divided into two serologic groups: HBV-infected seronegative group. Univariate binary logistic model developed. results seem indicate...
According to the WHO, healthy adults aged 18-64 should perform at least 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (PA), or 75 vigorous-intensity PA, throughout week, an equivalent combination moderate and vigorous activity. These recommendations be promoted involved in primary health care (PHC) staff daily practice. Tailoring education message depends on peoples' perspective but Poland there is no research subject.The aim study was explore compare perception lay people (LP)...
