BACKGROUND: This study among men who have sex with men (MSM) aimed to (1) assess prevalence of anogenital low-risk human papillomavirus (lrHPV) infections, (2) evaluate associations with HIV infection, and (3) investigate lrHPV concordance.

METHODS: In 2010 to 2011, MSM 18 years or older were recruited in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and provided anal and penile self-swabs (HIV & HPV in MSM study). Using the HPV ...

Joint Modeling of HCV and HIV Infections among Injecting Drug Users in Italy Using Repeated Cross-Sectional Prevalence Data Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen

Emanuele DEL FAVA, Adetayo KASIM, Usman Muhammed, Ziv SHKEDY, Niel HENS, Marc AERTS, Kaatje BOLLAERTS, Gianpaolo Scalia Tomba, Peter Vickerman, Andrew J. Sutton, et al.
During their injecting career, injecting drug users (IDUs) are exposed to some infections, like hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, due to their injecting behavioral risk factors, such as sharing syringes or other paraphernalia containing infected blood, or sexual behavior risk factors. If we consider that these IDUs might belong to a social network of people where these behavioral risk factors are ...

Role of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in the treatment and prophylaxis of HIV and HBV infections KU Leuven

Erik De Clercq
Tenofovir (TFV) is the cornerstone of the treatment and prophylaxis of HIV infections. It has been routinely used in its prodrug form TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) combined with emtricitabine ((-)FTC) and other antiretroviral agents. TDF has now been replaced by TAF (tenofovir alafenamide) which allows better uptake by the lymphoid tissue. In combination with elvitegravir (E), cobicistat (C), emtricitabine (F), TAF can be advocated as an ...

BACKGROUND: Monthly specimens collected from FEM-PrEP-a Phase III trial [1] were investigated for the detection of acute HIV (AHI) infection.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficiency of the study-specific HIV algorithm in detecting AHI, and the performance of each of the serological and molecular tests used in diagnosing new infections, and their contribution to narrowing the window period.

STUDY DESIGN: A total of 83 ...

Brief Report: Active HIV Case Finding in the City of Kigali, Rwanda: Assessment of Voluntary Assisted Partner Notification Modalities to Detect Undiagnosed HIV Infections Universiteit Hasselt

Background: Voluntary assisted partner notification (VAPN) services that use contract, provider, or dual referral modalities may be efficient to identify individuals with undiagnosed HIV infection. We aimed to assess the relative effectiveness of VAPN modalities in identifying undiagnosed HIV infections. Setting: VAPN was piloted in 23 health facilities in Kigali, Rwanda. Methods: We identified individuals with a new HIV diagnosis before ...

An estimation of the occupational risk of HBV, HCV and HIV infection among Indonesian health-care workers Universiteit Antwerpen

Dwi Agustian, Sri Yusnita, Herman Susanto, Hadyana Sukandar, Antoon De Schryver
AIM: to estimate the occupational risk of HBV, HCV and HIV infections among Indonesian HCWs. METHODS: the model developed by WHO was used to calculate the risk. The input parameters were selected from the best available evidence in Indonesia through a literature review. RESULTS: in 2005, sharps injuries led to an estimated 1445 infections with HBV, 399 with HCV and 18 with HIV among health-care workers (HCWs) in Indonesia. The attributable ...

Prevalence and associated risk factors of HIV infections in a representative transgender and non-binary population in Flanders and Brussels (Belgium): Protocol for a community-based, cross-sectional study using time-location sampling Universiteit Hasselt Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde KU Leuven Universiteit Gent

Niels De Brier, Judith Van Schuylenbergh, Hans Van Remoortel, Dorien Van den Bossche, Steffen FIEUWS, Geert MOLENBERGHS, Emmy De Buck, Guy T'Sjoen, Veerle Compernolle, Tom Platteau, et al.
IntroductionHIV prevalence and sexual risk have been estimated very high for transgender people. However, the limited sampling and data collection methods used in current research on transgender people potentially led to overrepresentation and generalisation of people at risk for HIV. Current HIV prevalence estimates in transgender populations are generalised from studies mainly focusing on transgender women engaging in sex work. Moreover, ...
