2. Prevalence of asymptomatic urethritis by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and associated risk factors among males living with HIV-1
ABSTRACT Objectives The increase in HIV transmissibility in non-ulcerative sexually transmitted infection is already well-established. It is estimated that symptomatic carriers of N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis have a relative risk of 4.8-fold and 3.6-fold, respectively, for the sexual acquisition of HIV. This type of evaluation for asymptomatic urethri

3. Treatment adherence in patients living with HIV/AIDS assisted at a specialized facility in Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION: In the 1990s, Brazil adopted a public policy that allowed for universal, free access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Since then, treatment adherence has become a new challenge for administrators of sexually transmitted disease/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (STD/AIDS) policies. This study quantified adherence to ART and verified

4. JC virus/human immunodeficiency virus 1 co-infection in the Brazilian Amazonian region
Abstract JC virus (JCV) is a member of the Polyomaviridae family and is associated to a severe disease known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, PML, which is gradually increasing in incidence as an opportunistic infection among AIDS patients. The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of JCV among HIV-1 carriers including their types a

5. Interferon-gamma release assay versus tuberculin skin test for latent tuberculosis infection among HIV patients in Brazil
Abstract Setting Patients HIV+ attending in a reference clinic, Southern Brazil. Objective To compare the interferon-gamma-release assay (IGRA – QuantiFERON® TB Gold In-Tube) with the tuberculin skin test (TST – PPD-Rt 23) for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in patients with HIV. Design Cohort study. Patients were simultaneously submitted to the

6. Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii serodiagnosis in human immunodeficiency virus carriers
ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION:Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii belong to the Sarcocystidae family, and both have one definitive and various intermediary hosts. Owing to their weak immune systems, immunocompromised persons might be prone to opportunistic infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of anti- N. caninum and anti- T. gondii ant

7. Prevalence of neurocognitive disorders and depression in a Brazilian HIV population
AbstractINTRODUCTION:Combined antiretroviral therapy has enabled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers to live longer. This increased life expectancy is associated with the occurrence of degenerative diseases, including HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), which are diagnosed via a complex neuropsychological assessment. The International HIV

8. Prevalence of hepatitis B and C infection and associated factors in people living with HIV in Midwestern Brazil
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in people infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and analyze sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with such co-infection. A cross-section study was performed in 495 individuals treated at a public center in the city o

9. Vaccination coverage and immunity against hepatitis B among HIV-infected patients in South Brazil
Evidence-based strategies to improve the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination coverage rates might help to reduce the burden caused by co-infection with HBV and human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV). In this study, the aim was to evaluate the vaccination coverage and immunity against HBV among HIV-infected individuals in South Brazil, and identify factors that

11. HLA-B*5701 frequency in Chilean HIV-infected patients and in general population
It has been demonstrated that HLA-B*5701 screening reduces the risk for hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir in HIV-infected patients. Since B*5701 prevalence varies among different populations, it is important to determine the carrier frequency prior to its use for the screening of HIV-infected patients.The aim of this study was to determine HLA-B*5701 car

12. Úlceras esofágicas em portadores do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana: etiologia e análise comparativa entre métodos diagnósticos / Esophageal ulcers in Human Immunodeficiency virus carriers: Etiology and comparative analysis among diagnostic methods
As infecções virais são as maiores responsáveis pelas úlceras esofágicas no portador do HIV, sendo o Citomegalovírus (CMV) o agente mais observado, seguido pelo Herpes Vírus Simples (HSV). A abordagem clínica adequada e a utilização de métodos diagnósticos precisos são de grande relevância para o estabelecimento etiológico. Os objetivos deste
