Prevalence of HIV and other infections and correlates of needle and syringe sharing among people who inject drugs in Podgorica, Montenegro: a respondent-driven sampling survey
BACKGROUND People who inject drugs (PWID) have significantly higher rates of blood borne and sexually transmitted infections due to unsafe injecting practices and risky sexual behaviors. METHODS We carried out an HIV bio-behavioral survey using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in people who use drugs (PWID) in Podgorica, Montenegro in 2013 in order to determine the prevalence of HIV, hepatiti...
متن کاملHCV prevalence can predict HIV epidemic potential among people who inject drugs: mathematical modeling analysis
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV are both transmitted through percutaneous exposures among people who inject drugs (PWID). Ecological analyses on global epidemiological data have identified a positive association between HCV and HIV prevalence among PWID. Our objective was to demonstrate how HCV prevalence can be used to predict HIV epidemic potential among PWID. METHODS Two populat...
متن کاملA multicentre sero-behavioural survey for hepatitis B and C, HIV and HTLV among people who inject drugs in Germany using respondent driven sampling
BACKGROUND People who inject drugs are at high risk for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. HTLV was reported by neighboring countries to be prevalent in this population, but the situation for Germany is unclear. To generate seroprevalence and related behavioural data and to enhance prevention efforts against these infections for drug users in Germany, a multicentre sero- and behavioural survey w...
متن کاملHCV in people who inject drugs: a neglected epidemic.
Despite the serious health implications of hepatitis C virus (HCV), especially in the context of concurrent HIV infection, its prevention and management has not been a national health priority in India. With the advent of highly effi cacious direct acting antiviral drugs for HCV that can be administered orally once daily, and activism around the reduction of treatment costs, HCV treatment might...
متن کاملDrug-drug interactions in the treatment of HCV among people who inject drugs.
Boceprevir and telaprevir are inhibitors and substrates of the cytochrome P450 3A4 family. With the use of these HCV protease inhibitors as part of standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection, drug-drug interactions with multiple medications being inductors, inhibitors, or substrates of cytochrome P450 3A4 can be expected. Due to the complexity of these interactions, predictin...
