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 ...

Effect of HIV prevention and treatment program on HIV and HCV transmission and HIV mortality at an Indonesian narcotic prison Universiteit Antwerpen

Erni J. Nelwan, Agnes K. Indrati, Ahmad Isa, Nurlita Triani, Nisaa Nur Alam, Maria S. Herlan, Wahid Husen, Herdiman T. Pohan, Bachti Alisjahbana, Reinout Van Crevel, et al.
Validated data regarding HIV-transmission in prisons in developing countries is scarce. We examined sexual and injecting drug use behavior and HIV and HCV transmission in an Indonesian narcotic prison during the implementation of an HIV prevention and treatment program during 2004-2007 when the Banceuy Narcotic Prison in Indonesia conducted an HIV transmission prevention program to provide 1) HIV education, 2) voluntary HIV testing and ...

Association of HIV infection with anal and penile low-risk human papillomavirus infections among men who have sex with men in Amsterdam: the HIV & HPV in MSM study Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Camiel A H Welling, Sofie H Mooij, Marianne van der Sande, Martijn S van Rooijen, Wilma F Vermeulen-Oost, Audrey J. King, Arne van Eeden, Danielle A. M. Heideman, Ineke G Stolte, Maarten F. Schim van der Loeff, et al.

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 ...

The preference of women living with HIV for the HPV self-sampling of urine at a rural HIV clinic in Uganda Universiteit Antwerpen

Agnes Nyabigambo, Roy W. Mayega, Hilbert Mendoza, Aslam Shiraz, John Doorbar, Lynn Atuyambe, Themba G. Ginindza
Background: Women living with HIV have a double risk of acquiring cervical cancer (CC) due to repeated human papilloma virus (HPV) infections resulting from reduced immunity, with CC screening being low at 46.7%. Objectives: To determine the factors associated with the preference for HPV self-sampling using urine as well as establish its feasibility among women living with HIV attending a rural Method: A cross-sectional study design using ...

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 ...

Epidemic dispersion of HIV and HCV in a population of co-infected Romanian injecting drug users Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven

Simona Paraschiv, Leontina Banica, Ionelia Nicolae, Iulia Niculescu, Adrian Abagiu, Raluca Jipa, Andrea-Clemencia Pineda-Peña, Marta Pingarilho, Emil Neaga, Kristof Theys, et al.

Co-infections with HIV and HCV are very frequent among people who inject drugs (PWID). However, very few studies comparatively reconstructed the transmission patterns of both viruses in the same population. We have recruited 117 co-infected PWID during a recent HIV outbreak in Romania. Phylogenetic analyses were performed on HIV and HCV sequences in order to characterize and compare transmission dynamics of the two viruses. Three large HIV ...

Seroconversion and antibody persistence after yellow fever vaccination in people living with HIV: impact of baseline HIV viral load and yellow fever seropositivity Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Charlotte Martin, Eric Florence, Cristina Domingo, Marc Delforge, Stéphane De Wit, Nicolas Dauby

BACKGROUND: Data on seroconversion rates following yellow fever (YF) vaccine and effect of revaccination in people living with HIV (PLWH) are scarce. We aimed at determining key factors for seroconversion after YF vaccine in PLWH and the role of preexisting neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) at vaccination.

METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study at several timepoints in two Belgian AIDS Reference Center. For each individual, ...

Prevalence and concordance of HPV, HIV, and HSV-2 in heterosexual couples in Kigali, Rwanda Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

NJ Veldhuijzen, N Dhont, J Vyankandondera, A Gasarabwe, R Busasa, Tania Crucitti, JH van de Wijgert
BACKGROUND: : In the absence of prospectively collected transmission data, the transmission potential of a sexually transmissible infection (STI) can be estimated by its proxy of concordance in sexual partners. Here we report concordance data of 3 viral STIs: human papillomavirus (HPV), HIV, and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) among heterosexual couples in Kigali, Rwanda. METHODS: : Cervical and penile HPV typing was performed among 166 ...
